Bleak House Play Adaptation of Dickens' original

Bleak House Play adaptation
Did someone, somewhere, once say ‘Where there’s a will there’s a way’? … Wrong! They obviously hadn’t read Bleak House and the case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce!
This script can be used by a small group of five or a whole class of 30.
With the job of narration shared by an extremely *non-neutral narrator and co-presenter who is the story’s heroine, this is a fun account of one very complicated story – don’t worry, it has been simplified!
*P.S. I hope nobody in the legal profession reads this – I’ve heard slander can be costly!

Cast
Group of 5 or Cast of 20 - 30
There are 30 speakers in total, divided up between seven scenes.
There are 13 named characters plus 6 lawyers (in the first scene) and the Narrator – i.e. 20 speakers in all.
So the actual cast size is somewhere between 20 and 30 – though this number can be easily adjusted by e.g. reducing or increasing the number of lawyers – I have used 6 lawyers in the first scene just to round up the total number of speakers to 30.
However, the script could be read by a group of 5, obviously adapting different roles in each scene.
