See the timeless story come alive in Teddy Hayes' unique and inspired take on the classic novel by Charles Dickens including 14 original songs with a singing and dancing cast.
Pip and the colourful cast of characters will have you on the edge of your seats in this musical version with the book, music and lyrics by Teddy Hayes.

Having achieved great success earlier in 2016 with The Baskerville Beast that play's writer, Teddy Hayes, is back with a bolder and more ambitious play based on Charles Dickens' Great Expectations.
​
As director of this delightful play Teddy has also made some inspired casting choices that have resulted in a wealth of talent on the stage as well behind the curtains. This talent brings to life the characters that fans of the novel and the David Lean film of 1947 have loved over the years. Of his play Teddy Hayes has said that he:
"needed to create something that the audience would be familiar with and enjoy while at the same time giving them things they wouldn't expect..."
​
Perhaps best known for his Devil Barnet series of crime novels Teddy Hayes is a playwright and director of repute with a great body of successful work. Having worked in the entertainment industry since his youth he is no stranger to putting on a great show that delights and enthrals audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Central to this is the visual style Teddy has adopted for this play.
​
"I also wanted the show to have the kind of visual image to reach out and touch people..."
​
As writer of the book and music, as well as the play, Teddy has weaved together a thrilling succession of songs and set-pieces that leave audiences dazzled. The impressive cast makes the most of the excellent script and the colourful characters therein. The show virtually guarantees pitch-perfect deliveries and a great day for all as this great story is adapted and rendered for the stage with pitch-perfect deliveries and a warm, uplifting production that transports you to the rich world of Pip, Miss Havisham and Magwitch.
​
"I think we have something that people will enjoy because sometimes a musical version of a story will strike a chord that a novel will."
