Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

In Dickens' centenary year, come and join us and meet Pip, whose assistance to a convict from a prison ship is to change his life. A wonderful cast of characters, from Miss Haversham living out her life in her unconsummated wedding debris, her hard but beautiful ward Estella and the warm Joe Gargery who teaches Pip the value of real love. Dickens at his strongest.
