About this event
About Pip is a small child, in a small village, with an even smaller name. But everything changes suddenly for Pip when their life is thrown upside down by a mysterious and dangerous benefactor: suddenly, and not knowing why, Pip has ‘Great Expectations’.Using their inventive style, Half Cut Theatre create an array of locations - the Kent Marshes, a Blacksmith’s workshop, 19th century London, and even a rotting stately home - as well as a cast of unforgettable Dickensian characters such as Magwitch, Joe Gargery, Jaggers and the iconic Miss Havisham. This Christmas HCT will spin another classic tale in surprising and delightful ways, encompassing sound, music, sensation and even smell. This is a production not to be missed.
