Chicago Shakespeare Theater presents miriam margolyes in DICKENS’ WOMEN —The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act I, Scene iii a messaGe from Barbara Gaines Criss Henderson raymond f. mcCaskey Artistic Director Executive Director Chair, Board of Directors Dear FrieNDs We are honored and delighted to welcome acclaimed British actress Miriam Margolyes to the intimate confines of the Thoma Theater Upstairs at Chicago Shakespeare. Miriam’s poignant one-woman show, Dickens’ Women, is a beautiful tribute to the life and work of Charles Dickens. The journey of this Olivier Award-nominated production showcases the depth and breadth of Miriam’s singular talent, which enables her to inhabit—with abandon—the most complex of characters. Not only is a Dickensian production aptly reflective of the holiday season, this year also marks the bicentenary of Charles Dickens’ birth. With this production, we join the international community in a year- long celebration of the author’s life and work: Dickens 2012. We are honored to be among the host of organizations across the globe offering special cultural events that pay tribute to the lasting impact of Charles Dickens’ legendary body of work. As a world-class theater reflective of the global city of Chicago, CST is committed to bringing the world’s great theaters to Chicago and Chicago Shakespeare to the world. Presented through CST’s World’s Stage Series, Dickens’ Women joins an impressive list of international productions our Theater has introduced to Midwest audiences (now 46 and counting). Thank you for joining us today. Whether it is for our current production of David Ives’ The School for Lies, Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar or Henry VIII, or one of our upcoming World’s Stage productions, we hope to see you back at CST soon. A host of extraordinary productions await you in the season ahead. Enjoy the show! COVER—Pictured: Miriam Margolyes, photo by Prudence Upton.

    DICKENS on SCREEN, BFI Southbank's Unprecedented

    PRESS RELEASE 12/08 DICKENS ON SCREEN AT BFI SOUTHBANK IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH 2012 DICKENS ON SCREEN, BFI Southbank’s unprecedented retrospective of film and TV adaptations, moves into February and March and continues to explore how the work of one of Britain’s best loved storytellers has been adapted and interpreted for the big and small screens – offering the largest retrospective of Dickens on film and television ever staged. February 7 marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens’ birth and BFI Southbank will host a celebratory evening in partnership with Film London and The British Council featuring the world premiere of Chris Newby’s Dickens in London, the innovative and highly distinctive adaptation of five radio plays by Michael Eaton that incorporates animation, puppetry and contemporary footage, and a Neil Brand score. The day will also feature three newly commissioned short films inspired by the man himself. Further highlights in February include a special presentation of Christine Edzard’s epic film version of Little Dorrit (1988) that will reunite some of the cast and crew members including Derek Jacobi, a complete screening of the rarely seen 1960 BBC production of Barnaby Rudge, as well as day long screenings of the definitive productions of Hard Times (1977) and Martin Chuzzlewit (1994). In addition, there will be the unique opportunity to experience all eight hours of the RSC’s extraordinary 1982 production of Nicholas Nickleby, including a panel discussion with directors Trevor Nunn and John Caird, actor David Threlfall and its adaptor, David Edgar. Saving some of the best for last, the season concludes in March with a beautiful new restoration of the very rare Nordisk version of Our Mutual Friend (1921) and a two-part programme of vintage, American TV adaptations of Dickens - most of which have never been screened in this country before and feature legendary Hollywood stars.
