WRITE Festival: Great Expectations

Gerald Dickens returns to The Word to perform his one man adaptation of Great Expectations.

The adaptation takes Pip from the lonely cold Kentish marshes and follows his journey into the respectable world of London.

Along the way we meet some of Dickens's greatest characters: Miss Haversham, Estella, Herbert Pocket, Mr Jaggers, Wemmick and the Aged P.

Although simply staged, Great Expectations is a truly dramatic and memorable show.

Tickets cost £8 per person.

Suitable for ages 16+

Pre-booking is required.
