Summary
In an Audible Original dramatization, executive produced by Academy Award-winning film director Sam Mendes (American Beauty, 1917), come on a journey with David Copperfield as he finds his way in a challenging world. Starring Ncuti Gatwa (Sex Education, Barbie) in the title role, and featuring an all-star cast including Helena Bonham Carter (Sweeney Todd), Theo James (The White Lotus), Jessie Buckley (Chernobyl), Richard Armitage (The Hobbit), Jack Lowden (Slow Horses) and Toby Jones (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.)
Join David as he encounters his eccentric Aunt Betsey, faithful Peggotty and the villainous Uriah Heep, and as he falls in love with Little Em'ly, Dora and Agnes. And then there is old school friend James Steerforth: dashing, daring and seductive. This dramatisation explores the complexities and intimacies of that relationship beyond anything possible in Dickens' day, in an adaptation giving fresh life and vividness to this beloved tale.
The cast also stars Reece Kenwyne Mpudzi as young David Copperfield, Izuka Hoyle as Agnes, Ralph Ineson as Mr Creakle, Indira Varma as Jane Murdstone and Katy Wix as Mrs Micawber.

Directed by Mariele Runacre Temple and Daniel Jewel, with an original soundtrack by Dan Gillespie Sells.

Captivating story
I thoroughly enjoyed this production. Ncuti Gatwa was the perfect choice for grown up David/Davy/Daisy/Trot.
I look forward to more Audible dramatizations of Dickens' novels, making them much more accessible and neurodivergent friendly. Well done all and many thanks for keeping me company while I worked the last couple of days!

What a journey!
This was my first time listening to David Copperfield. This production was stellar in ways that I am still trying to fathom. The many moving parts kept me transfixed. Ncuti's lead is incredible. The fluidity of sexual diversity is subtle but yet apparent. Emotiomally, I felt the pace and pain. I was moved by this production. What a journey!

unexpectedly beautiful and brilliant
I devoured this. The actors were superb; special mention to both adult and young David Copperfield and Agnes whom I adored. Make sure you listen somewhere where you can have the volume up or use headphones to get the full joy of the wonderful sound effects.

Well acted performance.
A favourite character, Mr Dick, was missing from this performance. Slightly disappointing as I was waiting for his entrance.
