Charles Dickens (b. 1812-1870), was an English writer and critic during the Victorian period and was well-known as the greatest. His thirteenth novel, 'Great Expectations', was narrated in first person and is under the genre of Victorian literature. The novel is based around an orphan boy nicknamed 'Pip', who is reflecting on his younger years whilst still being set in the current day. The novel covers many relevant themes to the era of the play such as wealth and poverty, love and rejection and good and evil. Many of these themes are portrayed through the characters of 'Estella', once an orphan like 'Pip' and her adopted, eccentric mother 'Miss Havisham', who's characters we will be re-creating for this project.
