Havisham at Upstairs at the Gatehouse

EMUL8 Theatre presents
Havisham

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?
