Great Expectations

An action-packed, fast-moving adaptation of Charles Dickens’ great adventure story which tells of the good fortune bestowed on the young orphan, Phillip Pirrip - better known as Pip - by a mysterious benefactor, and of his undying devotion to the haughty young Estella, brought up Miss Havisham to wreak vengeance on the male race. We meet the London lawyer, Jaggers and his clerk, Wemmick; the criminal Magwich, his enemy Compeyson; the pompous Uncle Pumblechook, simple Joe Gargery, his shrewish wife Mrs Joe, and the lovable orphan Biddy. Pip’s good friend, Herbert Pocket and his grasping relations - and a whole galaxy of other characters - fill the story.
