Great Expectations

A terrifying encounter with an escaped convict on the wild Kent marshes; a summons to meet the bitter, decaying Miss Havisham and her beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella; the sudden generosity of a mysterious benefactor: these form a series of events that change the orphaned Pip’s life forever, as he eagerly abandons his humble origins to begin a new life as a gentleman in London.

Adapted and directed by Michael Whitmore, this lively new production delivers a fun, pacey and accessible version of the Dickens original whilst retaining all the high drama, larger-than-life characters and grimy double-dealing duplicity of this enduring Dickens classic.
