About the Show
by Charles Dickens, adapted by Hugh Leonard, directed by Rosemary Harris. This play is based on the penultimate novel of one of the greatest writers of the 19th century, Charles Dickens. It was published when Dickens was at his prime. It is an absorbing mystery as well as a morality tale, the story of Pip, a poor village lad, and his expectations of wealth is Dickens at his most deliciously readable. The cast of characters includes kindly Joe Gargery, the loyal convict Abel Magwitch and the haunting Miss Havisham.
