Great Expectations Tickets

Pip-pip! Hurry to catch Great Expectations and find out what the Dickens is going on at the Vaudeville

A year after the bicentenary festivities in his honour, which saw TV adaptations, paperback reissues and a resurgence of interest in the man who can claim to be the most popular novelist of the nineteenth century, Charles Dickens returns to prominence at the Vaudeville Theatre. His tale of a boy called Philip Pirrip, known as ‘Pip’, becoming a gentleman arrives on a West End stage for the first time, coinciding with the public DVD release of 2012’s cinematic adaptation written by David Nicholls, who himself is a modern-day Dickens.

This production comes from the penship of Jo Clifford, and is under the direction of Graham McLaren, who also sorts the costumes in a play which returns to the Dickensian era of the 1820s and 1830s. Period costumes and authentic language evoke the bygone era of two centuries ago, when serialisations of Dickens’ work would be published for a mass audience. In a similar way, the cast’s interpretation of the tale should reach a mass audience of theatre-goers, some of whom may have seen other cinematic adaptations starring the likes of Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone, John Mills and Helena Bonham Carter.

The performance is suitable for children aged 8+, and Great Expectations offers newcomers to Dickens a way into the world of all kinds of people, rich and poor, servile or noble. Pip as a young boy is played by Taylor Jay-Daviesand by Paul Nivison as a grown man. Paula Wilcox plays the melancholic Miss Havisham, and Chris Ellison takes on Magwitch.
