The Place Theatre, Bedford

Hotbuckle present Great Expectations By Charles Dickens Adapted by Adrian Preater 6th and 7th April at 7:30pm (Friday and Saturday)

Hotbuckle explode onto the stage with this new, innovative adaptation of one of Dickens' greatest novels.

With all the comedy, mystery, violent melodrama, suspense and poignancy of the original, it tells of Pip's journey from boyhood to manhood as he seeks to discover who he is and find his place in an inhospitable world. It is a story of love and loss, of guilt and shame, of fear and courage and has some of the most vivid and memorable characters in all of English literature.

With the bicentenary of Dickens' birth in 2012, this electrifying, exhilarating and moving production is a must-see.

"...these creative, versatile and visionary actors excel, delighting the audience... this production is a clever and novel re-birth of a famous classic that does not fail to grip you through its contemporary approach..." The Public Reviews
