Must end august 13th!

A smorgasbord of comedy's brightest stars lines up to headline this much-anticipated stage adaptation of the riotous Radio 4 comedy that mashes up Dickens to delightful effect! Featuring appearances from Tom Allen, Adjoa Andoh, Alexander Armstrong, Jo Brand, Jack Dee, Stephen Fry, Nish Kumar, Lee Mack, Stephen Mangan, Ben Miller or Sue Perkins*, expect to enjoy Dickens's most beloved tales like never before when Bleak Expectations begins its first chapter this May. Written by Mark Evans, Bleak Expectations is directed by Caroline Leslie.

Following the exploits of upstart orphan Pip Bin and his best pal Harry Biscuit, this rambunctious tale melds together classic Dickensian elements including barbarous boarding schools, mysterious benefactors, street villains, star-crossed romance, and more to create a literary classic like no other. Will evil be vanquished by virtue? Can love triumph over hate? Well of course it will!
