More Dickens Than You Can Shake An Orphan At
"While 6½ hours of theatre may seem a bit of a marathon, consider that there are 27 actors playing more than 100 speaking parts, and a boy's journey to manhood, to get through. Consider, also, that the version of Nicholas Nickleby landing at Toronto's Princess of Wales Theatre on Saturday is two hours shorter than the landmark stage version that opened in London in 1980."
