5 unusual facts about Sydney Carton


Jarvis Lorry

When Charles Darnay is arrested on his arrival in England, Mr. Lorry retains the lawyers C.J. Stryver and Sydney Carton to defend Darnay.

Jerry Cruncher

Back in England, he helps Sydney Carton "get something" on the paid government witness and spy, John Barsad.

He accompanies Lucie and Miss Pross to church the night they run into Sydney Carton and later that night Cruncher tries to unsuccessfully "resurrect" Barsad's colleague and fellow spy Roger Cly in the graveyard.

Sydney Carton

This is done with the help of John Barsad, an English spy working at one of the French prisons, after a conversation described as a "hand of cards".

Sydney Carton is introduced into the novel A Tale of Two Cities as a young, very sloppy but brilliant lawyer who bears an uncanny likeness to Charles Darnay, the prisoner he is defending.


Jun Sena

Sena received much acclaim for two roles in 2003: Luigi Lucheni, from Flower Troupe's production of Elisabeth and Sydney Carton from A Tale of Two Cities.

Sena is famous for her portrayal of a series of such strong male characters as Luigi Lucheni, Sydney Carton and Jack Worthing.
