TTC Presents: Great Expectations

Full Description

TTC Presents: Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations

Adapted by Jo Clifford

Directed by Sandra Barfield

 

“Who am I to be kind!” Miss Havisham

A terrifying encounter in a fog-laden churchyard changes orphan Pip’s life forever. Against the dramatic backdrop of the vast, windswept Kent marshes, Pip struggles to come to terms with his mysterious “great expectations.” Haunted by the eccentric Miss Havisham and tormented by his love for the cold-hearted and capricious Estella, Pip’s changed fortunes take him to London to become a gentleman. When his benefactor is revealed, a dramatic chain of events unfolds.

“Great Expectations” is the coming-of-age story of Pip, an orphan who yearns for a greater lot in life, until a twist of fate and the evil machinations of the mysterious and eccentric Miss Havisham shows him a dark world of possibilities. Under the great expectations placed upon him, Pip will have to work out the true cost of this new world and whether it will truly make him the man he wishes to be. In the end, Pip comes to realize that his “great expectations” of social standing and wealth comes at a severe price and are far less important than loyalty and compassion.

Dickens’ much-loved novel is filled with vividly drawn characters brought to life by acclaimed theatrical adaptor, Jo Clifford.

And So, It Begins….!
