I have always found the works of Charles Dickens to be a good source for stage adaptation[Nicholas Nickelby, A Christmas Carol], and now the Pearl Theatre Co. is presenting a beautiful version of another classic Dickens novel HARD TIMES. Dickens' long novel about the colorful characters of Coketown England has been wonderfully well adapted by Stephen Jeffreys and is acted with superb relish by a talanted cast of six under the expert staging of J. R. Sullivan.
The Pearl Theatre Company is one of off Broadway's treasures, and they are to be highly commended for providing this theatre season with a gem of a play.
I had a great time at HARD TIMES. Go see it.
At THE N.Y. CITY CENTER STAGE 2 131 WEST 55th STREET N.Y.C. THRU MARCH 28th.
