The bleakness of young Pip's life is broken only by his visits to the warped, reclusive Miss Havisham and her beautiful niece, Estella. When a mysterious benefactor gives Pip the opportunity to go to the city and become a gentleman, he leaps at the chance to claim his great expectations. An exceptional ensemble of just eight actors brings Charles Dickens’s beloved epic to life in a brilliant adaptation of yearning, regret, and redemption.
