March 28th - April 1st 2000 The Marlowe Players presented A Tale Of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, adapted by Mark Fitzgibbons |
|
When Dickens wrote A
Tale of Two Cities English inns were experiencing hard times. To improve
things, inexpensively produced entertainments were presented in the innyards.
In this brilliant adaptation the audience are watching the inn's production
of Dickens' masterpiece, therefore the problem of different locations
is simply solved and the full life and scope of the characters can be
absorbed, stunningly presented in this tour de force for theatrical
organizations everywhere. Period 1860s.

"It
was the best of times... It was the worst of times."

"It
is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done. It is a far,
far better rest that I go to than I have ever known."
