Charles Dickens’s HARD TIMES
January 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30 – February 5, 6
adapted by Stephen Jeffreys
Directed by Travis A. Whitaker
"Now what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life."
A whirlwind adaptation, featuring four actors portraying nearly two dozen characters of Charles Dickens’s Hard Times: quintessential Dickens, a celebration of sheer theatrical story-telling, full of humanity and humor, with a rich gallery of idiosyncratic characters. Set at a time of supposed social progress, moving from Thomas Gradgrind's model schoolroom where the Philosophy of Fact leaves no room for fancy or imagination, past the fire that bursts out at night from the smoking chimneys of Josiah Bounderby's Coketown factories, to the exuberance and fellow-feeling of Mr Sleary's travelling circus-troupe, Hard Times explores the impoverishment of the human life that results from the denial of the most fundamental qualities of the human heart.

What transpires is not only how Eric, but his friend Josie, who lives on the Upper East side of Manhattan handle what is happening at this time, but the men who actually have answered the ad all deal with the worst days in US history.
