Great Expectations

When the show opened in New York, the critics went wild. But this is Suzy Eddie Izzard, and in her case the critics almost always go wild! You’re going to love this fresh new take on Great Expectations, the classic novel by Charles Dickens starring young Pip, whose unexpected good fortune turns sour. Izzard’s brother Mark adapted the play from the original and Suzy Eddie plays nineteen of the roles to spectacular effect. No wonder HollywoodSoapbox said that, "Eddie Izzard is delivering the performance of the year".

The Wall Street Journal agrees, saying “Eddie Izzard commands a classic". And the US TV news channel CNN calls it an “epic performance." This is Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations, performed in a unique way with Izzard, one of the most talented British eccentrics of our times, at the helm. The actor, pilot, comedian, and multi-marathon runner Eddie Izzard is known for breaking boundaries and is no stranger to creating record-smashing work on stage and screen. The show’s on at the West End’s Garrick Theatre from 24th May to 1st July 2023, and tickets are flying out of the door.

Exceptionnel tour de force from Eddy Izzard. He is very generous with that classic story from Charles Dickens and seems to bare soul with tenderness all that is important about it.
