Deep dive into one of the greatest coming-of-age stories by the master novelist of the Victorian era, Charles Dickens. Charting young Pip's experiences of poverty, prison, and fights to the death, 'Great Expectations' follows the entwined fates of wealthy spinster Miss Havisham, the beautiful but aloof Estella, and unsophisticated yet kind blacksmith Joe. As Pip journeys through life, his expectations are shaped and shunned by the people around him. Weaving the ultimate tale of good over evil, he must question love and loss at a time when social struggles are rife. The novel has been adapted into countless films and stage adaptations, most notably the 2012 blockbuster hit ́Great Expectationś, starring Ralph Fiennes and Helena Bonham Carter. Challenging our preconceived judgements, social standing, and moral cues, ́Great Expectatioń is ideal for fans of Dev Patel's 'The Personal History of David Copperfield' and fans of West End's 'Oliver!'
