Great Expectations
Based on the book by CHARLES DICKENS
Adapted by GALE CHILDS DALY
Directed by MATTHEW DECKER

Charles Dickens’ classic coming-of-age novel springs to life on the Arden stage! As a boy, Pip has three encounters that will change his life: with the escaped convict Magwitch, with the bewitching and cold Estella, and with the unhinged Miss Havisham. When Pip comes into an unexpected fortune, he begins the life of a gentleman, though his past is not so easily left behind. Six actors play over 40 characters bringing this Victorian classic alive in a riveting tale of class, ambition, and love.
