Bleak Expectations

By Mark Evans

15 – 19 DECEMBER 2026 at 7.45pm at the Old Court Theatre.

ABOUT

A story Charles Dickens might have written after drinking too much gin…

Follow half-orphan Pip’s extraordinary exploits with sisters Pippa and Poppy, and his best friend Harry Biscuit, as they attempt to escape the calculating clutches of the dastardly Mr Gently Benevolent, defeat the hideous Hardthrasher siblings, and deflect disaster at every turn! Will evil be vanquished by virtue … Can love triumph over hate …  Can a baguette make an effective sword … ?
