The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, Part 2A brilliant recapturing of the sights and sounds of Victorian England, and the touching, funny, exhilarating saga of the virtuous young Nicholas as he meets and masters the challenges of poverty and corruption. In the end of the play is a soaring affirmation of man's essential goodness -- a thrilling, eloquent rendering of the diverse people, places and events that, in Dicken's time or in ours, make up the real stuff of life and draw on the deepest resources of the human spirit. |
