Review:
A wonderfully involving and eloquent adaptation...a fine example of fast, fluent ensemble story-telling...tremendous. --Independent
Grips throughout...a show that is by turns frightening, funny and deeply affecting...Retains Dickens's tone of voice - trenchant, humane and deeply comic...one leaves the theatre marvelling afresh at both Dickens's power as a storyteller and the prodigious generosity of his spirit. --Daily Telegraph
A festive show that is as absorbing and entertaining as being read to by the fire... bring on the pie, and enjoy a real Christmas treat. --Sunday Times

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is one of the greatest - and most widely read - of novelists writing in English. Great Expectations (1861) is only one of some fifteen novels, all of whose titles are common currency and all of which have been repeatedly dramatised for stage, screen and radio, with, probably, a higher success rate than those of any other writer.
One of the UK's leading directors, Declan Donnellan and his partner, Nick Ormerod, formed Cheek by Jowl in 1981. He has directed 30 productions for the company. In 1989 he was made Associate Director of the Royal National Theatre in London where his productions, with Nick as designer, have included Fuenteovenjuna, Sweeney Todd, The Mandate and the world premiere of both parts of Angels in America. For the Royal Shakespeare Company Declan has directed The School for Scandal, King Lear and Great Expectations. His book, The Actor and the Target has been published in Russian, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Romanian and Mandarin. The second English edition was published in 2005 by Nick Hern Books.
