Nicholas Nickleby
“For the FIRST TIME HERE: a Melodrama faithfully adapted from the novel by MR CHARLES DICKENS by Miss Caryl Brahms and Mr Ned Sherrin.”
An adapation of Nicholas NIckleby using the Dotheboys Hall episodes as the key to dramatising the novel. I believe there was a hope of a West End run. The material was further worked on to become “Nicholas Nickleby and Me”.
