Expectations-artwork-LANDCAPE

Eddie Izzard invites you to his work-in-progress reading/performance of Charles Dickens’ classic epic Great Expectations.

De La Warr Pavilion
Marina Bexhill On Sea East Sussex TN40 1DP
Sunday 29 December
Doors 6pm
Starts 7pm (there will be a 20 minute interval)
Finish (approx.) 8.40pm

This is a theatrical performance where all profits from ticket sales go to the De La Warr Pavilion Charitable Trust.

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.

No photography or recording.
Latecomers may not be admitted.
12+ recommended. Under 14s must be accompanied by an adult 18+.
