Originally produced in 1908, the play gives a psychological study of its characters and is considered one of the first modern adaptations of a Dickens novel. In a "magnificent production" directed by the celebrated actor-manager Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, the play toured throughout England before opening at London's His Majesty's Theatre where it was noted for its "excellent performances."
