Great Expectations By Charles Dickens Performed By Eddie Izzard

After having performed The Brothers Menaechmus at The Dell in 1979, Eddie will return on Sunday 11 September at 3.00pm to perform a preview of her one woman performance of Dickens Great Expectations.

A tale of convicts, mystery, friendship, rivalry, unrequited love, revenge and redemption.

Actor, comedian Eddie's career spans both of these with record-breaking comedy tours and critically acclaimed film, TV and theatre performances. But few know that it was acting that was Eddie's first love. This preview show offers the chance to see Eddie as she follows in Dickens footsteps with her live performance of the master storyteller's much-loved classic.

This event takes place in the Dell at Eastbourne College, it is outside and takes the form of a small amphitheatre. Please bring your own rugs and cushions for comfort. The event will go ahead come rain or shine, so please dress appropriately according to the weather.

A bar will be open during the interval and we will be happy to accept CASH donations only.

All profits will go to Eastbourne Food Bank eastbourne.foodbank.org.uk
