Dramatized by Tim Kelly and directed by Hisa Takakuwa, this Dickens classic tells the story of Nicholas Nickleby and his adventures in Victorian England. Penniless after his father's death, Nicholas arrives in London seeking a way to care for his mother and sister. But their Scrooge-like Uncle Ralph sends Nicholas to a ghastly school for boys in Yorkshire. Seeking a way out of the abusive conditions, Nicholas and orphan Smike escape and embark on an adventure that exposes them to the best and worst of humanity as it teaches lessons of compassion, loyalty and resilience.
