Overview
Dickens's novel of the French Revolution, A Tale of Two Cities, is brought vividly to life in this musical adaptation, which was successfully premiéred at the Thameside Youth Theatre in January 1990. The famous story of Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton, the French aristocrat and English lawyer caught up in a deadly feud between the embittered Defarges and the cruel Marquis d'Evrémonde, is told swiftly and excitingly in scenes ranging from quiet country gardens to the storming of the Bastille. The songs, romantic, reflective and stirring by turns, heighten the drama and emotional thrust of this epic story, resulting in a work of great power.
