Havisham

Emul8 Theatre is performing Havisham at Edinburgh Fringe 2023.

Written and Performed by Heather Alexander with direction and dramaturg by Dominique Gerrard, it offers a fresh perspective of Charles Dickens’s greatest work of Gothic characterisation. Miss Havisham is the embodiment of stuck trauma and malignant rage. But how did she arrive at this place and what are the tragic secrets of her calamitous past...?

It’s at ZOO Playground 1, 7pm, August 13–27 and then Upstairs at The Gatehouse, Highgate, London November 14–19.
