SUMMARY:Great Expectations
DESCRIPTION:by by Charles Dickens,adapted for stage by Neil Bartlett\n																														\nSee this much-loved and enduring story of orphan Pip and his journey from poverty to fortune.\nA graveyard. Christmas Eve, 1812. While visiting the grave of his parents, young orphan Pip encounters escaped convict Magwitch – a meeting that will change his life forever.\nUsing only Dickens extraordinary words and a cast of nine actors, Neil Bartlett has created a powerful stage version of this much loved story. From it’s open ing image of Pip, alone on the windswept marshes , to the haunted darkness of Miss Haversham’s cob-web strewn lair, Bartlett’s inventive and atmospheric adaptation brings to thrilling theatrical life this classic exploration of childhood terrors and hopes- and adult dreams and regrets\nSponsored by  Plastics Direct\nCast & Crew\nCast\nPip ………………………………………………………………………………… Sam ReidMrs. Joe/Biddy ……………………………………..Margaret ThompsonAbel Magwitch ……………………………………………………John HankinJoe Gargery/Wemmick ………………………………………….Phil CleggMiss Havisham …………………………………………..

Dickens wrote Great Expectations as a memoir from the perspective of Pip. My vision for the play is that the audience view Pip’s visions as he remembers. Dickensian characters tend not to be multi-dimensional characters, but caricatures; the very essence of a character type and when one remembers people, they often seem larger than life; remember your worst enemy and out he or she pops, the very essence of evil! So enjoy Dickens’ memorable characters as they pop into live on our stage. Karen Barton\n
