Bleak Expectations [EPUB ebook] 
Now a major West End play!

Now a major West End play! From 3rd May 2023, see Bleak Expectations on stage at the Criterion theatre, with guest stars Stephen Fry, Dermot O’Leary, Sue Perkins and more!Based on the beloved Radio 4 series, BLEAK EXPECTATIONS recounts the remarkable adventures of young Pip Bin as he tries to make his way in a world made all horrible by the machinations of his cruel guardian, Mr Gently Benevolent. Grim circumstances, mistaken identities, nightmarish court-cases, ridiculous names, convenient coincidences to resolve plot problems, over-sentimental death scenes and lots and lots of adjectives: Bleak Expectations is a novel like Charles Dickens might have written after far too much gin.
