Adapted for the stage by : Gale Childs Daly
Based on the Novel by : Charles Dickens
Directed by : Michael Bloom
Experience Charles Dickens’ great novel (arguably his greatest) in one energetic and sweeping evening of theatre. This compact adaptation cuts right to the narrative core of Pip’s unexpected journey from orphan to gentleman as aided and inhibited by three memorable Dickens characters: the escaped convict Magwitch, the beautiful Estella, and the lonely, embittered Miss Havisham. Six actors create an atmosperic Victorian world in this fast-paced classic coming-of-age adventure.
