Award-winning actress Linda Marlowe (The World’s Wife, Berkoff’s Women) starred in Miss Havisham’s Expectations as the iconic jilted bride ‘Norma’ Havisham, forever in her wedding dress alongside the stopped clock and untouched cake - a tale of passion, vengeance and more than a little magic.

The show, which had a successful run at the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe, was an original take on one of Dickens’ best loved novels. Wrestling with love, loss and ageing our heroine replayed episodes from the novel from her perspective – at times darkly funny as she explodes the stereotype with laudanum-fuelled relish.

Drawing on the text of Great Expectations, biographical material from Dickens’ own life and original material, writer-director Di Sherlock takes Miss Havisham and the audience on a roller-coaster ride through what it means to be a woman both then and now.
