- Summary:
- Violence and Victorian gentility meet in one of Dickens' greatest creations. Pip's epic journey from boy to man has at its centre his relationships with the terrifying convict Magwitch, manipulative Miss Havisham and the beautiful but heartless Estella. Tony Marchant's new adaptation is dark, sometimes savagely comic and wholly unsentimental.
