Great Expectations (Oberon Book) Details
Using only Charles Dickens’ extraordinary words and a chameleon ensemble of eight actors, Neil Bartlett's powerful stage version of this much-loved story brings its settings and characters to thrilling theatrical life.From its opening image of little Pip, alone on the windswept marshes, to the haunted darkness of mad Miss Haversham's cobweb-strewn lair, this brand-new adaptation especially commissioned by Aberystwyth Arts Centre takes its audience on a journey right to the heart of Dickens’ great exploration of childhood terrors and hopes - and of adult dreams and regrets.
Reviews
An upcoming local production of this play caused me to order this British script. And the playwright's advice caused me to read Dickens book as "homework" for the audition. The play is much different...by nature...than the book. I really want to get good roles in this play, but regardless, the book is one of the best things I ever read.
