“Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before–more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.”
Great Expectations
By Charles Dickens. Adaptated by Nick Ormerod and Declan Donnellen.
A terrifying encounter with an escaped convict forever changes the life of the orphaned Pip. Turning his back on his humble beginnings as a blacksmiths apprentice, he strives to better himself and become a gentleman, unaware of the hidden dangers that await him.
This exciting and fast-paced 2005 adaptation by Nick Ormerod and Declan Donnellen, lays bare a tissue of lies and guilt in Charles Dickens least sentimental love story. It also tackles big questions of identity while mustering a cast of unforgettable characters, chief amongst them Miss Havisham, Magwitch, Estella and Joe Gargery.
