Havisham
Written and Performed by Heather Alexander
Direction and Dramaturgy by Dominique Gerrard
If you knew my story, your heart would break too…
1825. A young woman, newly liberated from the deep-rooted effects of an abusive childhood, arrives in London. She is full of hope and ready to embrace a fresh start. However, she soon finds herself as ‘the leading lady in drama she can’t comprehend.’ The gaslighting is subtle, the manipulation slick. Can Miss Havisham discern her fate? Or is she destined to relive the devastation of her trauma?
Havisham offers a fresh perspective of Charles Dickens’ greatest work of Gothic characterisation – Miss Havisham from Great Expectations. Miss Havisham is the embodiment of steady trauma and malignant rage. But how did she arrive at this place and what are the tragic secrets of her calamitous past…?
