Next MindPlay - December 19th and 20th
 

MindPlay- Dec 09

Saturday, Dec. 19 and Sunday, Dec. 20
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby by David Edgar from the Novel by Charles Dickens
Location: 120 Country Club Rd, Chapel Hill, NC 27514 (Paul Green Theatre)
Discussant: Peter Perault, MD
Tickets: Call PlayMakers at (919) 962-PLAY or visit http://www.playmakersrep.org/tickets/ 
  
The complete Dickens masterpiece comes to life! In a culture grown tired of the sound bite, we're seeing attention return to great storytelling traditions, and long before new masters such as JK Rowling, there was Charles Dickens, the greatest serial writer of them all. Edgar's adaptation takes us on a thrilling ride, with humor, fantastic turns of fate, and the rich, emotional moments that make up life's astounding journey.
 
MINDPLAY discussions are free and open to the public. MINDPLAY is hosted by PlayMakers Repertory Company and sponsored by the North Carolina Psychoanalytic Foundation, Lucy Daniels Foundation and the NC Psychoanalytic Society.
