dbo:abstract

The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby est une pièce de théâtre de créée en 1980 à l'Aldwych Theatre de Londres. Elle est adaptée du roman de Charles Dickens de 1845, Nicholas Nickleby. (fr)
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby is an 8½ hour-long adaptation of Charles Dickens’ 1839 novel, performed in two parts. Part 1 was 4 hours in length with one interval of 15 minutes. Part 2 was 4½ hours in length with two intervals of 12 minutes. It was originally presented onstage over two evenings, or in its entirety from early afternoon with a dinner break. Later it was presented on television over four evenings. The opening night was on 5 June 1980. The show ran for an 8-week season at the Aldwych Theatre, playing Part 1 on some nights and Part 2 on others with both parts playing together on matinée and evening performances. It was revived for two further 8-week runs at the Aldwych in the autumn season of 1980 and the spring season of 1981 before being filmed for Primetime TV at the Old Vic Theatre and transferring to Broadway for the autumn season of 1981. A further revival with a substantially different cast played at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford and toured to Los Angeles and Broadway in 1985. The play was adapted by David Edgar from the Charles Dickens novel The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby. Directed by John Caird and Trevor Nunn, the music and lyrics were from Stephen Oliver and the set design was by John Napier and Dermot Hayes. It transferred to the Plymouth Theatre on Broadway, initially opening 4 October 1981 and running until 3 January 1982. Revivals of the original production were produced in 1986 (which returned to USA for a Broadway run and national tour) and a truncated version from 2006 to 2008. (en)
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby è un'opera teatrale di David Edgar, riduzione teatrale dell'omonimo romanzo di Charles Dickens. Prodotto dalla Royal Shakespeare Company, il dramma è noto per la sua lunghezza, ben otto ore e mezza. Viene rappresentato in due parti (rispettivamente di quattro e quattro ore e mezza), in due sere diverse o a partire dal primo pomeriggio e con una pausa per la cena tra il primo e il secondo tempo. Nonostante la difficoltà dell'esecuzione, Nicholas Nickleby ha ottenuto un certo successo sia a Londra che a New York, vincendo anche il prestigioso Tony Award alla migliore opera teatrale nel 1982. È stata particolarmente apprezzata la performance di Roger Rees nel ruolo del protagonista, un'interpretazione che gli valse il Laurence Olivier Award e il Tony Award al miglior attore protagonista in uno spettacolo.
