Young Pip is a blacksmith’s apprentice without “expectations” until a secret benefactor changes his fortunes; surely it can be no coincidence that this follows his introduction to the eccentric Miss Havisham and her beautiful but cold-hearted adopted daughter Estella. Pip’s life as a fine gentleman proceeds just as planned until he makes a shocking discovery.

From the author of Christmas Carol comes this heartfelt tale of growing up, love and loyalty.

*Adult content and language.

Lawrence is overconfident, extroverted and never at a loss for words; while Holloman is timid, uptight and reclusive. Following a chance encounter, this modern odd couple becomes the best of friends and the worst of enemies. Now poor Lawrence, who has always known everything about anything, can’t understand why his luck has taken a downturn. But, lucky for us, in this wicked comedy things can always get worse.

“A deliciously disturbing picture of clashing personalities -- complete with black eyes and blacker humour, bathtub and insane asylum scenes, and the occasional joke about male anatomy.” - Winnipeg Sun
