Great Expectations 'It was now too late and too far to go back, and I went on. And the mists had all solemnly risen now, and the world lay spread before me……' A terrifying encounter with an escaped
convict in a graveyard on the wild Kent marshes; a summons to meet
the bitter, decaying Miss Havisham and her beautiful, cold-hearted
ward Estella; the sudden generosity of a mysterious benefactor - these
form a series of events that change the orphaned Pip's life forever,
and he eagerly abandons his humble origins to begin a new life as
a gentleman. |

Quantum Theatre - about the company Quantum Theatre produces and tours original work and adaptations of the classics into theatres, schools and outdoor venues throughout the UK and Ireland. All of our work is written (or adapted) and produced by the artistic director, Michael Whitmore who has evolved Quantum's now characteristic style; pacey, humorous musical theatre accessible to all ages whether it be Michael's own plays or his adaptations of the classics such as Shakespeare and Dickens. In recent years Quantum has staged the much-loved classic 'Treasure Island', that favourite flight of fancy 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', the fantastical family favourite 'Álice Through the Looking Glass' and now the Dickens classic 'Great Expectations'. All the shows provide a fun, dramatic and magical couple of hours for their audiences, with humour, grit and live music to delight and entertain. This coming Summer (2010)
sees the return of 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' as well as our
brand new adaptation of 'Great Expectations' and we look forward to
captivating our audience members once more with both productions. |
