Really enjoyed it. Great performance from the actors with good casting. Staging, costume and scenery excellent. Very funny.
The production is a bit unusual; I think the idea was to follow Copperfield's life as he (as the author) is writing it; with some of his edits included. Felt like it was made for the theatre and then transferred to the cinema with the scene changing instructions left in. There's even one instance where a character is moved to a different scene by a giant hand; for a moment I thought the story had broken into Gulliver's Travels. This doesn't break the story thread but it did break some of my emotional involvement with the characters.
I liked, 'I don't fit. Write me out.'
