Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
Using only Charles Dickens' extraordinary words and a chameleon ensemble of eight actors, Neil Bartlett's powerful stage version of this much-loved story brings its settings and characters to thrilling theatrical life. From its opening image of little Pip, alone on the windswept marshes, to the haunted darkness of mad Miss Haversham's cobweb-strewn lair, this brand-new adaptation especially commissioned by Aberystwyth Arts Centre takes its audience on a journey right to the heart of Dickens' great exploration of childhood terrors and hopes - and of adult dreams and regrets. It opens at Aberystwyth Arts Centre in March 2007, followed by a national tour.
Formerly Artistic Director of the Lyric Hammersmith, Neil Bartlett's published work includes 'Who Was That Man?', a polemic study of Oscar Wilde, the novels 'Ready To Catch Him Should He Fall' and 'Mr Clive and Mr Page'. His translations of Moliere, Genet, Labiche, Racine and Marivaux have been produced in both Britain and North America, and many are published by Oberon Books.
