This show will be performed in English

Direct from a critically acclaimed sell out run in New York, Eddie brings her one-woman play Great Expectations to La Nouvelle Seine for a special unplugged Paris preview – performed in English.

Adapted for the stage from Charles Dickens’classic novel Great Expectations by Mark Izzard, Eddie plays all 19 characters in this classic tail of convicts, mystery, friendship, rivalry, unrequited love, revenge and redemption.

Actor, comedian, and multi-marathon runner, Eddie Izzard’s boundary-pushing career spans all of these with record-breaking comedy tours and critically acclaimed film, TV, and theatre performances. But few know that acting was her first love. This show offers the chance to see Eddie in a solo performance of the master storyteller’s beloved epic, Great Expectations.

Great Expectations is directed by Selina Cadell with movement directed by Didi Hopkins.
