Great Expectations
by Charles Dickens
a world premiere adaptation
After a terrifying Christmas Eve graveyard encounter, young orphan Pip’s life will never be the same. Plucked from poverty and thrust into the upper class by a mysterious benefactor, Pip strives to discover himself and find love in his radically changed circumstances, even while untangling a fascinating web of long hidden secrets.
