Top of PageSikes and Nancy
Synopsis:
Charles Dickens adapted Sikes and Nancy from the grislier material in Oliver Twist. It became the most notorious of his legendary Public Readings; a masterpiece of high Gothic melodrama. Audiences were shocked into silence. Women would scream and faint. I shall tear myself to pieces,' Dickens vowed before one performance. He surely did, it is now thought that the strain of The Murder' hastened Dickens's early death.
Notes:
Based on characters from Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist"
