Sunday Play: Havisham

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

By Ronald Frame. In just a few sentences of Great Expectations Charles Dickens sketches in the bare bones of a history for the character of Miss Havisham, the aged woman who sits in a shuttered old house in her soiled bridal dress, as she has done since the day she was jilted many years before. Frame's play considers how her situation came about.
Director Patrick Rayner (R)
