June 2023: The play Charles Dickens would have written if he’d drunk more gin.


Two-time winner of the Best Radio Sitcom award and winner of a Sony Award, Bleak Expectations is a chaotic caper through Dickensian London. The story follow Pip’s remarkable adventures as he attempts to escape the scheming clutches of Mr Gently Benevolent, defeat the four irrepressible Hardthrasher siblings and avert disaster at every turn. Will evil be vanquished by virtue? Can love triumph over hate? Immerse yourself in this joyfully anarchic comedy featuring hideous boarding schools, dastardly plans, devilish disguises, pulse-quickening romances, heart-rending death scenes, and definitely a happy ending.
