Hillcrest High School’s Productions Company presents
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby
Midvale-
Journey forth to London in this 2 part, 6 hour theatrical adaption of Charles Dickens’ The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby. Follow the 32 students of the Hillcrest Productions Company as they personify over 100 characters. Because of the length of the play and the size of the cast required, this award-winning production is seldom revived, so this is a rare opportunity to experience this masterpiece.
• “One of the rare theater experiences of our time…So masterful is the overall effect that many will regard seeing Nicholas Nickleby as one of the highlights of a lifetime of theater going.” — The Wall Street Journal
• “It displays the grandest theatrical techniques, affirms the rightness of love and friendship, and revives pleasures and poignancies that have all but vanished from modern narrative art…Nickleby will cast a glow for years to come.” — Time Magazine
• “a ceaselessly entertaining…dramatic triumph” — The London Times
• “exhilarating mixture of pathos and comedy” — The New York Times
