About This Show

David Edgar’s adaptation of Charles Dickens’ The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, Parts One and Two comes to the California Shakespeare Festival. A company of 20 actors plays 200 roles in one the greatest stories ever written. This gloriously sprawling, two-part, 19th century comic melodrama follows the journey of young Nicholas and Kate Nickleby through preposterous coincidences, reversals of fortune, and the collision of goodness and evil, only to emerge triumphant in a celebration of love and friendship you’ll remember forever.
