The Word, National Centre for the Written Word

Gerald Dickens returns to The Word to perform his one man adaptation of Great Expectations.

The adaptation takes Pip from the lonely cold Kentish marshes and follows his journey into the respectable world of London.  Along the way we meet some of Dickens’s greatest characters: Miss Haversham, Estella, Herbert Pocket, Mr Jaggers, Wemmick and the Aged P. Although simply staged Great Expectations is a truly dramatic and memorable show. About WRITE Festival 2022This event is part of The Word’s WRITE Festival which is being across the whole of September at The Word and other library venues. Enjoy a programme of unmissable events, workshops and performances!
