Nicholas Nickleby is newly employed as a teacher at Dotheboys Hall in Yorkshire thanks to his manipulative and avaricious uncle Ralph; a businessman. There he witnesses the cruel treatment of boys at the hands of despotic headmaster Wackford Squeers and his wife. In coming to the defence of one boy; Smike; Nicholas assaults Squeers. Thinking he has killed him; he escapes with Smike to London and on to Portsmouth where the pair join the Crummles Theatre Company. Ralph uses Nicholass sister Kate as bait further to ensnare a young and wealthy lord who is already in his debt. Learning of the abuse Kate has been exposed to; Nicholas goes to London and her aid; but even greater dangers lurk around the corner. This stunning adaptation of Charles Dickenss third novel toured the UK in 2001 and 2002 in a production by Red Shift Theatre Company.
