Landmark Emmy-winning production of the 9 hour Royal Shakespeare Company's worldwide stage event based on the Charles Dickens novel, starring Roger Rees. As Act II begins, the cast provides a choral summary of events. Squeers' daughter Fanny writes to Ralph Nickleby, condemning Nicholas for having attacked her father. Newman Noggs, Ralph's secretary, visits his neighbors, the Kenwigs. The family, which includes several daughters, panders to Mrs. Kenwigs' Uncle Lillyvick, a wealthy water-rate collector. Nicholas, meanwhile, having fled the school with Smike, reunites with his sister Kate. He visits Noggs, tells him about his encounter with Squeers, and then leaves to search for new employment, heading to Portsmouth. He and Smike sign on to the Crummles theatrical family/ theater troop
