Christmas Eve, in a marshy churchyard, an escaped convict grabs our hero, a young orphan named Pip, at knife point – and the boy’s life is forever altered! Pip’s act of kindness, and a mysterious benefactor, lead to a series of surprises as we follow Pip’s journey from rags to riches, through love and loss, and revenge to redemption. Along the way he learns some hard-earned lessons and ultimately comes to realize his great expectations. Six quick-changing actors portray dozens of curious and intriguing characters in Daly’s taut new adaptation of Dickens’ timeless classic novel. “ … a ‘must see.’ Add it to your winter bucket list.” – DC Metro Theatre Arts
