Written by Nikki Massoud
Adapted from the novel by Charles Dickens
Directed by Devin Brain

The Acting Company reinvigorates Charles Dickens’ timeless novel with an effervescent stage adaptation brimming with unexpected hilarity and romantic heart. Great Expectations follows the harrowing journey of working-class orphan Pip as he navigates a challenging upbringing at the hands of his abusive sister, encounters an escaped prisoner, and meets the wealthy and eccentric Miss Havisham and her daughter Estella, a stunning, young heiress of ruthless intelligence. When Pip receives a sizable fortune from a mystery donor and enters the ranks of high-society London, his life is forever changed, learning hard truths about integrity, loyalty, and love. Akin to a bingeable dramedy carved with the beautiful prose that made Dickens popular, Nikki Massoud’s take on this uproarious, thrilling, and surprisingly relatable story will keep audiences of all ages on the edge of their seats.

“Now more than ever, The Acting Company wants to lift hearts, spirits, and minds - delighting and engaging audiences all over the country. We can think of no better way to achieve this goal than with these two plays that revel in the absurd improbabilities of finding and sustaining love in a world both magical and cruel.  These are stories that center Hope: kindness in the face of adversity and love defiant of all obstacles. Both GREAT EXPECTATIONS and A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM are the Acting Company at its best!”

Kent Gash, Artistic Director, The Acting Company
