To celebrate Dickens' anniversary, we're offering Jo Clifford's remarkably focused and moving version of one of his finest novels, Great Expectations.
A hero and heroine who age from nine to middle age: a flight down river: a convict pursued across the marshes: a decaying wedding cake: an abandoned bride goes up in flames: a blacksmith’s forge: a grand subscription ball: rags to riches and back again: a story of abuse and of love twisted and stifled: Dickens’s most accessible and perhaps most devastating novel, adapted for the stage by Jo Clifford, realised at the M.W.T. by a team of very brave, very imaginative and very, very committed actors.
