by Mark Evans

Charles Dickens plot meets Rowan Atkinsons humour in this bonkers adaptation of the famous novel Great Expectations. Bleak expectations follows the Three half-orphans Pip, Pippa and Poppy in their escapades defeating the dastardly Mr Gently Benevolent who chases their every step within a Victorian Britain.

Along the way they must fight the Hardthrasher siblings, find love, and get their inheritance before their time and luck runs out. Will the three siblings live happily ever after in the smog filled streets of London or will Mr Gently Benevolent gain the upper hand and achieve his dream of revenge and financial stability.

Later Life Letter tells the story of Luke Wright’s adoption – the life he leads, and the one he might have done. What’s it like to stumble across your birth mother on Facebook? How do you honour the parents who have raised you while satisfying a curiosity about where you came from? Is it telling that you married a social worker?

Wright navigates his audience through a warm and honest hour of poems and stand-up with the wit, pathos, and silliness that has made him one of the most popular live poets in England.

This is a frank account of what it means to be someone’s child told by a performer who really knows what he’s doing. Expect raucous laughter, tear-stained cheeks, and a little smattering of drum n bass.

“A streetwise panache and a sardonic comic verve to rival Stewart Lee.”

★★★★★ Telegraph

“Honesty, humour, ire and wonder. He is at the peak of his powers.”

★★★★★ The Stage

“His poems shoot arrows through the heart, or leave you dazzled by their virtuosity” ★★★★★ List
