by Charles Dickens, adapted for the stage by Alastair Cording
One of Dickens’s best-loved and most autobiographical stories follows the life of young David from his unhappy childhood to middle age and his dicovery of his gift as a story-teller. The novel is brought vibrantly to life in this warm, funny and fast paced adaption, full of his finest characters, including the ultimate optimist Mr Micawber, the fawning Uriah Heap, the formidable Aunt Betsy Trotwood and the glamorous, spoilt Steerforth.
