EMUL8 Theatre presents Who was the woman being behind Dickens’ most monstrous female creation? What drove the hopeful young Miss Havisham to her cruel and fractured fate? Experience her heartbreak, as we delve into her childhood trauma and follow her on an intricate journey to a world where she finds herself ‘the leading lady in a drama she can’t comprehend.’ The gaslighting is subtle, the coercive control slick. Can Miss Havisham escape her twisted karma? Or is she destined to impose the devastation of her trauma on a new victim? Running Time: TBC Starring Heather Alexander(ROOM, Upstairs at the Gatehouse, 2023) an award-winning actress, writer, and producer with a prodigious list of stage, television, and film credits. Directed by Dominique Gerrard. Recent credits include award winning production Quintessence (Emily Carding), SOE & A Necessary Woman (both for Clair Obscur Theatre) and Heather's previous work Room (Emul8). Reviews for previous work:
