Come out to play / Drama’r dydd

The popular Quantum Theatre Company are back at the Garden on Sunday June 12 with an open-air performance of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations.

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 for ever, and he eagerly abandons his humble origins to begin a new life as a gentleman.

 Let Quantum take you and your imagination from the misty marshes to the dusty, dirty streets of London in this brand new adaptation of Dickens’s most enduringly popular and atmospheric novel.

And why not bring along a picnic to help enjoy to the full the high comedy and dark drama as you follow Pip’s journey through adversity to discover the true nature of his ‘great expectations’.

The performance is at 4pm. Normal Garden admission applies, no further charge to watch play.
