A world-premiere adaptation
London and Paris. The best of times and the worst of times. As the tinderbox of a bloodthirsty revolution ignites, this epic historical saga explores a world of doubles — two cities, mirrored lives and hidden identities. When French aristocrat Charles Darnay and English defense attorney Sydney Carton both fall for Lucie Manette, they are drawn into a web of love, war and loyalty that leads to a costly decision. This Guthrie-commissioned, world-premiere adaptation by Jeffrey Hatcher preserves Charles Dickens’ narrative voice and upholds the novel’s timeless themes of sacrifice and redemption.
