Smike

Smike

The nightmarish world of Dotheboys Hall from Nicholas Nickleby is brought to vivid life for a modern class of rebellious students in this highly original pop adaptation of Charles Dickens' celebrated novel.

An English teacher leads his class in a dramatic recreation of the story of Nicholas; his friend, Smike; and the tyrannical headmaster, Mr. Squeers; to teach them a lesson about learning, standing together and good fellowship.
