Miss Havisham's Expectations

T1037231849
Wrestling with love, loss and ageing our heroine replays episodes from the novel from her perspective - at times darkly funny as she explodes the stereotype with laudanum-fuelled relish. Drawing on the text of Great Expectations, biographical material from Dickens' own life and original material by writer-director Di Sherlock, Miss Havisham's Expectations discusses what it means to be a woman both then and now.
