Recenzii
"It's a tribute not only to the glory of Dickens, but to the joy of theater." —Richard Christiansen, Chicago Tribune
"Heidi Stilman—in her finest, most nuanced work as both adapter and director--has crafted a show of tremendous grace and heart, darkness and light. She has brought to life a Victorian-era epic that bursts with wit and whimsy, and all the outrage, hope, severity, and sentimentality of the novel." —Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times
"Remaining remarkably faithful to her source, [Stillman] ... achieves gorgeous heights of stagecraft." —Chicago Reader
Descriere
This adaptation of Charles Dickens's Hard Times captures the same feelings of desolate desperation and energizing celebration that overwhelms and ultimately consumes the characters in the novel itself.
