The Personal History of David Copperfield

A modern take on Charles Dickens's classic tale of a young orphan who is able to triumph over many obstacles.

A fresh and distinctive take on Charles Dickens' semi-autobiographical masterpiece The Personal History Of David Copperfield set in the 1840's chronicles the life of its iconic title character (played by Dev Patel) as he navigates a chaotic world to find his elusive place within it.

From his unhappy childhood to the discovery of his gift as a storyteller and writer David's journey is by turns hilarious and tragic but always full of life colour and humanity.
