Great Expectations

A churchyard in the mist. Three figures - Dickens aficionados - are on a quest for the birthplace of the story. As they start to read the book out loud, something stirs. From the graves a man rises. It's the convict, Magwitch! Dickens' words take shape as they are spoken. This is Great Expectations as you've never seen it before: irreverent and moving, absurd and heartbreaking.

With its original blend of clown theatre and melodramatic storytelling, Shifting Sands has won critical acclaim for its riveting productions of Faustus and Romeo & Juliet.

With three actors, Shifting Sands present the Dickens classic as you have never seen it before: irreverent and moving, absurd and heartbreaking.
