Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins Tom with her regular Thursday review of local and regional stage productions. Today, she spotlights the ambitious new production of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, now on stage at Everyman Theatre.
Adapted from the 1860 classic by Gale Childs Daily and directed by Tazewell Thompson, Great Expectations is a faithful condensation of this enduring saga of identity, fate, sacrifice and generosity, and it draws brilliantly on the multi-role talents of its small cast.
Great Expectations continues at Everyman Theatre through Sunday, March 5.
