    • Synopsis
    • Moving through London society as a gentleman, Pip uses his new found position to pursue the beautiful Estella; a spoilt heiress he’s loved since childhood. Miss Havisham, Estella’s deranged guardian, has fostered this relationship for her own sinister purpose. The revelation that it is the fearsome criminal, Magwitch, not Miss Havisham, who is the mysterious benefactor, will have devastating consequences for everything Pip holds dear.
