A fresh, distinctive take on Charles Dickens' semi-autobiographical masterpiece, "The Personal History of David Copperfield," set in the 1840s, chronicles the life of its iconic title character 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, color, and humanity.
