“Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.”
Do you ever look at your life, and ask how did you get to where you are? Can you trace your current place to one moment, one decision, or one person?
Charles Dickens’ classic novel, Great Expectations, explores the journey of a young boy, Pip, who grows into a young man, led astray by false assumptions, misplaced hope and misguided goals. However, Pip never loses his innocence and self-awareness. While his path takes many twists and turns, Pip owns his misgivings and sees the good to find his way forward.
Interpreted for the stage by playwright Gale Childs Daly, the story for Great Expectations comes alive through vibrant performances of six actors in true troupe style. While the novel contains more than twenty characters, Daly brings the story to life with Pip, and five narrators who play multiple revolving parts.
"Gale Childs Daly's exceptional new adaptation is uncommonly tight and suspenseful. With their multiple plots, Dickens novels often are tough to adapt. This one keeps the storytelling, and the hero, front and center. Truly, it's a riveting cutting and shaping that is never dull for a moment." -Chicago Tribune
Great Expectations will be performed and live-streamed. A Q&A with the actors and production team will follow each show.
