Bleak Expectations

COMIC Theatre Company present - Bleak Expectations by Mark Evans (An amateur production).

Join Sir Philip Bin for a joyfully absurd journey though the stories of his Dickensian youth. Gasp, guffaw and titter along at the many fond (and strangely familiar) friends and enemies that enrich this immersive, literary tale or riches, to rags, to riches.

This award winning comedy started life on Radio 4, before hopping onto BBC Two - The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff - starring Robert Webb (Mitchell and Webb). In a Dickensian twist, it even enjoyed a stint as a Novel before, most recently (just last year infact) it was brought to life as a West-End stage show, notable for it's series of guest narrators, including Stephen Fry, Sally Philips and Jack Dee.

Now this global multi-media sensation is embarking on an amateur UK Tour... Starting in Dodford, North Worcestershire, and ending just days later in Clent, also North Worcestershire, just more.. North.

Join a colourful cast of characters including the esteemed Mr Gently Benevolent, the sardonic Wackwell Hardthrasher and Pip's chipper loyal friend, Harry Biscuit.
