What is BLEAK EXPECTATIONS about?
The stage version of Mark Evans' beloved BBC Radio 4 series, directed by Caroline Leslie, came to the West End earlier this year after a run at Newbury's Watermill Theatre in 2022.
BLEAK EXPECTATIONS follows young Pip's extraordinary exploits with sisters Pippa and Poppy, plus best friend Harry Biscuit. They attempt to escape the calculating clutches of the dastardly Mr. Gently Benevolent, defeat the hideous Hardthrasher siblings, and deflect disaster at every turn.

The company is made up of Ashh Blackwood, Shane David-Joseph, J J Henry, John Hopkins, Dom Hodson, Serena Manteghi, Marc Pickering, and Rachel Summers.
