A gritty adaptation of Dickens' least sentimental love story with a
cast of some of his most unforgettable characters. Whilst at his
parents' graveside, Pip is accosted by Magwitch, a convict escaped
from one of the prison ships. Terrified, he is forced to help the
man to get away. An unexpected invitation to the house of rich old
Miss Havisham forces him into the path of her beautiful, cruel
niece Estella and their strange, ruthless games. After an anonymous
benefactor grants him a small fortune, Pip turns his back on his
humble life as a blacksmith's apprentice - he moves to London to
become a gentleman in the hopes of winning Estella. But he has no
idea of the dangers that await him there, or from where his
salvation will come. This adaptation of Charles Dickens' Great
Expectations, by Nick Ormerod and Declan Donnellan, was first
performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Royal Shakespeare
Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, in 2005.
