Students from the British International School will stage musical “Smike,” based on Charles Dickens’ novel «Nicholas Nickleby.»
The story is about a young and naive gentleman Nicholas Nickleby who starts working at a private school for boys.
The school’s director, Mr. Squeers, is a mean and two-faced person who keeps his students in fear.
An orphan Smike suffers the most from the director and his family, and Nickleby feels responsible for Smike and other kids.
The songs were originally written back in 1973 as a project for Kingston Grammar School in London by British composers Simon May and Roger Holman. The musical was also televised on BBC.
Tuesday, Apr. 5, 6 p.m., Budynok vchytelya, 57 Volodymyrska St. Free admission but book your seat in advance: 400-2110.
