Summary

‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way…’

Marvellous characterisation

Terrific variation in the voices of the different characters, especially Jerry Cruncher, Miss Pross and Madame Defarges. Excellent combination of comedic moments and sombre. This reading does Dickens justice.
