More Information About The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby

Description

"Nickleby will cast a glow for years to come. So ... skip a mortgage payment, pawn the children. Money cannot often buy the experience that Nickleby provides." So exclaimed TIME magazine's Richard Corliss after witnessing the legendary Royal Shakespeare Company production which took both London and Broadway by storm in the early '80s. Twenty-five years later, Cal Shakes presents a rare opportunity to experience the stuff of theatrical legend. Twenty actors play 200 roles in this gloriously sprawling, two-part 19th-century comic melodrama which follows the journey of siblings Nicholas and Kate through extraordinary adventures and reversals of fortune, only to emerge triumphant in an unforgettable celebration of love and friendship. Hopefully you won't have to pawn the children - in fact, we'd prefer it if you brought them along - but whatever you do, don't miss Nicholas Nickleby.

The play is performed in two parts, each of which is ticketed separately.

Part One: Jul 13 - Aug 7
Part Two: Aug 17 - Sep 11
Rep Week: Sep 13 - 16
Marathons: Sep 10, 17, & 18
