Jo Clifford’s gothic adaptation opens in the rotting dining room of Satis House, captured live at the Vaudeville Theatre.
Jack Ellis’s Jaggers presides over a space that will not let go. Adult Pip watches as his younger self is drawn in. A hand reaches from the dark. Miss Havisham sits fixed at her decaying table. A wedding cake collapses in on itself. Paula Wilcox moves through cobwebbed walls and costumes, then ignites as the room turns.
Director Graham McLaren compresses thirty years into a single interior that contains Pip as witness and as outcome. What unfolds is not discovery. It is recognition.
