The Invisible Woman
April 28th at 7:30 Massey Theatre
Directed by Ralph Fiennes
with actors: Ralph Fiennes, Felicity Jones, Kristin Scott Thomas, Tom Hollander
Based on Claire Tomalin’s nonfiction book The Invisible Woman: The Story of Nelly Ternan and Charles Dickens
Nelly (Felicity Jones) is haunted by the past. At 18, she met Charles Dickens (Ralph Fiennes), then 45 and at the height of his career.
Nelly was a budding actress who had appeared in a play he’d adapted – and the two embarked on a relationship that had to be kept secret, given that he was married with 10 children.
