Great Expectations

by Charles Dickens, adapted by Jo Clifford
directed by Gerald Baker

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.
