A satirical comedy by Dario Fo

Bleak Expectations

Bleak Expectations

Tickets on sale now! Opening at the Limelight Theatre on 12th September, Bleak Expectations is a show being first performed at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury in 2022.

This play is best described as a “Glorious Dickenson Romp” that Charles Dickens himself may have written after drinking too much gin.

Based on the much-acclaimed drama by Mark Evans, based on a story and a drama with A Dickenson with a dash of Monty Python, along with following half-orphan Pip’s extraordinary exploits with sisters Pippa and Poppy and best friend Harry Biscuit.

Watch as they attempt to escape the calculating clutches of the dastardly Mr. Gently Benevolent, defeat the hideous Hard thrasher siblings and deflect disaster at every turn.
