Carriageworks Theatre Presents GREAT EXPECTATIONS Tonight
By: BWW News Desk Sep. 26, 2014
Journey with Pip through a modern Dickensian England meeting some of the most elaborate characters in literature.
See the characters of Charles Dickens' penultimate thirteenth novel brought to life by a captivating group of actor/musicians exploring the timeless clash between wealth and poverty, and how evil can be overpowered by good, tonight 26 September at Carriageworks Theatre, Leeds. Lovers of the book or film adaptations will have a chance to meet characters such as Pip and Estella face-to-face and become a part of their tale.
Blacksmith's boy Pip is transformed into a London gentleman with the aid of a mysterious benefactor. But even as Pip's fortunes rise, he is haunted by his love for the beautiful, unattainable Estella whom he visited at Miss Havisham's house as a child.
Seen as one of Dickens greatest works, even by Dickens himself, Great Expectations holds sway academically as well as in popular culture. Poet Carol Ann Duffy cites the novel as one of her inspirations. Great Expectations continues to reach out to generation after generation of readers, Pip and his circumstances striking a cord of the fragility of fate.
London Contemporary Theatre is committed to creating exciting, fast-paced theatre and radio theatre. Using live original musicthey strive to bring classical theatre to contemporary audiences. They make their classical productions accessible and fun for the entire audience.
