Summary
In a time when governments all over the world are facing down political unrest and fierce protests, this revolutionary story has never been more relevant. This adaptation marries three of the finest artists in their own fields that England has ever known: Dickens the master story-teller, Rattigan the great playwright and Gielgud the mercurial actor. Gielgud intended to play both Sydney Carton and a number of other roles, and this adaptation reflects that ambition by having thirty characters played by just eight actors. -- Publisher's website.
