T05889306431803. Pip, a seven year-old orphan boy, visits his mother's grave. A frightening encounter with an escaped convict begins a series of events that will change his life forever. Written by one of England's greatest authors, Charles Dickens, Great Expectations is the profound and complex story of Pip's journey through life. Some of his most memorable characters - the terrifying Magwitch; Joe Gargery, the kind and generous blacksmith; the eccentric Miss Havisham; the cold and beautiful Estella; Mr Jaggers the pompous lawyer and Pip's wise friend, Herbert Pocket - are vividly brought to life in this anarchic and joyful telling of this glorious tale. Using Dickens' original text (well, mostly!) David Mynne's skilful, one-man performance of this epic story is deft, daft, delightful... and definitely Dickens! Be prepared to be scared and amazed, to cry and laugh! | |

T026131978Following on from the sell out success of last year's production of The Voyage of Lost Dreams, the company of Hampshire Youth Theatre 2013 presents a stunning adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic tale, Great Expectations. As a young man Pip wanted nothing more than to become a blacksmith's apprentice at Joe Gargery's forge. Chance encounters with three unforgettable characters transform Pip's life and ambitions forever; the escaped convict Magwitch, the eccentric and vengeful Miss Havisham, and her beautiful yet cold ward, Estella, for whom Pip develops unrequited feelings. While Pip is whisked away to London on the orders of a secret benefactor, he sacrifices true friendship in order to pursue his Great Expectations and a world of corruption, madness and mysteries is revealed. This production, inspired by the films of Tim Burton, combines physical theatre, puppetry and epic choral storytelling with a specially composed score to transform this most treasured tale into a thrilling Gothic fairytale.Adapted by Nick Ormerod.
