- (Based on the original Royal Shakespeare Company stage production by Trevor Nunn and John Caird, adapted by David Edgar from the novel by Charles Dickens; with Roger Rees, Emily Richard, David Threlfall, John Woodvine, Jane Downs) Dickens' grand tale opens in Devonshire, with the death of Nicholas' and Kate's father. Finding themselves suddenly without funds, the two move to London with their mother to seek the help of their uncle, businessman Ralph Nickleby. In turn, the cold-hearted Ralph Nickleby hastily sends his 19-year-old nephew off to teach at a school in Yorkshire. There Nicholas quickly discovers the reality of his situation. Dotheboys Hall is in fact an institution for abandoned boys run by a brutal headmaster, Wackford Squeers. (Restricted to classroom use only)
