Great Expectations

About the Show

Pip’s s impoverished childhood takes on a new dimension when he meets the strange Miss Havisham. An unknown benefactor turns Pip into a gentleman but he falls prey to the corruption of money.

A virtuoso solo performance of Dicken’s much-loved novel, performed by Cornish-based actor and founder member of Kneehigh, David Mynne. Unforgettable characters including the terrifying Magwitch, the eccentric Miss Havisham and the cold and beautiful Estella are vividly brought to life in an anarchic, joyful recreation of this glorious tale. Using Dickens’ original text (well, mostly!) David Mynne’s skilful performance of this epic story is deft, daft, delightful… and definitely Dickens!
