Nicholas Nickleby: A Farce in 2 Acts by Edward Stirling (1809 - 1894)
by LibriVox
This stage adaptation of Dickens’ novel debuted in November of 1838 at the Adelphi Theater in London. Only eight installments of the story had been published at that time, therefore several characters such as the theatrical Crummles family who play an important part in the latter half of the text do not appear in this work. The ending of this adaptation is also wholly a creation of playwright Edward Stirling, not novelist Dickens. Charles Dickens attended a performance of the play which starred comedienne Mary Keeley in the role of Smike. Despite his usual stern disapproval of unauthorized versions of his works, Dickens is said to have thoroughly the enjoyed performances and Stirling’s take on “Nickleby.” (Summary by Kelly Taylor)Cast List:Nicholas Nickleby ToddHW Ralph Nickleby Tomas PeterNewman Noggs Adrian StephensMantellini Algy PugSqueers Alan Mapstone Scaley Rob Marland Smike Jake Malizia Lord Verisopht Greg Giordano John Browdie Andrew Latheron Wendy Katz Hi
