Synopsis

The Royal Shakespeare Company's brilliant stage production of Dickens's much-loved novel. Ideal for students of the book and drama groups.

A terrifying encounter with an escaped convict forever changes the life of the orphaned Pip. Turning his back on his humble beginnings as a blacksmith's apprentice, he strives to better himself and become a gentleman, unaware of the hidden dangers that await him.

Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod's new adaptation lays bare a tissue of lies and guilt in Dickens's least sentimental love story. It also tackles big questions of identity while mustering a cast of unforgettable characters, chief amongst them Miss Havisham, Magwitch and Joe Gargery. This brand new dramatisation was the RSC's mainstage Christmas Show in 2005.

À propos de l?auteur

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is one of the greatest - and most widely read - of novelists writing in English. Great Expectations (1861) is only one of some fifteen novels, all of whose titles are common currency and all of which have been repeatedly dramatised for stage, screen and radio, with, probably, a higher success rate than those of any other writer.

One of the UK's leading directors, Declan Donnellan and his partner, Nick Ormerod, formed Cheek by Jowl in 1981. He has directed 30 productions for the company. In 1989 he was made Associate Director of the Royal National Theatre in London where his productions, with Nick as designer, have included Fuenteovenjuna, Sweeney Todd, The Mandate and the world premiere of both parts of Angels in America. For the Royal Shakespeare Company Declan has directed The School for Scandal, King Lear and Great Expectations. His book, The Actor and the Target has been published in Russian, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Romanian and Mandarin. The second English edition was published in 2005 by Nick Hern Books.
