Synopsis

Pip, a country boy who is apprenticed to become a blacksmith, is summoned to the home of an eccentric spinster to be a playmate for her young ward, Estella.

Pip soon falls for her but she treats him with cold indifference.

Consequently he longs to be turned into a gentleman.

The surprise ending is warm and delightfully satisfying.

Dickens' sly humor is very affecting on stage.
