The Morgan Library & Museum is renowned for its collection of manuscripts, rare books, music, drawings, and works of art including their notable Dickens collection, the star of which is the original manuscript of A Christmas Carol as well as Dickens's letters to Wilkie Collins relating to the writing of Great Expectations and early editions of the novel.
In Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, Eddie portrays 19 characters in a classic tale of convicts, mystery, friendship, rivalry, unrequited love, revenge, and redemption.
Eddie, who is dyslexic, had never read a great work of literature, but knowing that she was exactly 150 years younger than Dickens, decided to start by reading Great Expectations. She was then inspired to develop it as a solo performance for the stage.
Charles Dickens' Great Expectations running time is approximately two hours and 15 minutes including an intermission.
