The
Acting Company reinvigorates Charles Dickens’ timeless novel with an
effervescent stage adaptation brimming with unexpected hilarity and romantic
heart. Great Expectations follows the harrowing journey of
working-class orphan Pip as he navigates a challenging upbringing at the hands
of his abusive sister, encounters an escaped prisoner, and meets the wealthy
and eccentric Miss Havisham and her daughter Estella, a stunning, young heiress
of ruthless intelligence. When Pip receives a sizable fortune from a mystery
donor and enters the ranks of high-society London, his life is forever changed,
learning hard truths about integrity, loyalty, and love. Akin to a bingeable
dramedy carved with the beautiful prose that made Dickens popular, Nikki
Massoud’s take on this uproarious, thrilling, and surprisingly relatable story
will keep audiences of all ages on the edge of their seats.
