The Personal History of David Copperfield
"From rags to riches... and back again."
A fresh and 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, colour and humanity.
Directed by Armando Iannucci
Written by: Simon Blackwell, Armando Iannucci, Charles Dickens
Produced by: Glen Basner, Daniel Battsek, Simon Blackwell
