Eddie Izzard invites you to his brand-new work-in-progress reading/performance of Charles Dickens' classic epic Great Expectations. 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. These warm-up shows offer the chance to see Eddie merge both crafts in a series of work-in-progress shows during which he follows in Dickens' footsteps with his reading/performance of the master's much-loved classic story.
