Bleak Expectations
Halifax Thespians present by arrangement with Nick Hern books BLEAK EXPECTATIONS
Written by Mark Evans. Directed by Leighton Hirst
Bleak Expectations was an acclaimed BBC Radio 4 comedy by Mark Evans.
The story Charles Dickens might have written after drinking too much gin…
Follow half-orphan Pip’s extraordinary exploits with sisters Pippa and Poppy and best friend Harry Biscuit, as they attempt to escape the calculating clutches of the dastardly Mr Gently Benevolent, defeat the hideous Hardthrasher siblings, and deflect disaster at every turn!
Will evil be vanquished by virtue? Can love triumph over hate? Mark Evans’ stage play Bleak Expectations is a hilarious, chaotic caper, featuring dastardly villains, preposterous names, pulse quickening romances, heart-rending death scenes, and definitely, probably, hopefully a happy ending
