Great Expectations, Abbey Theatre, St Albans in aid of The Salvation Army, Thursday 12th June 2025

A production of Great Expectations for the whole family by Charles Dickens, adapted by Jo Clifford.

This fresh adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic novel follows pip, an orphan living with his sister and her husband in rural Kent. When Pip helps an escaped convict named Magwitch, he unwittingly sets off a chain of events that will change his life forever.
