London 1820s
It’s ten years before the time of Charles Dickens’s novels, and the wild Miss Havisham is bent on revenge against the swindler who left her at the altar on her wedding day in Great Expectations. But it won’t be as simple as she hopes.
Miss Havisham will be aided- or sabotaged- by the pickpocket Fagin and the brawler Bill Sikes from Oliver Twist. And the fearsome lawyer Jaggers and the burly convict Magwitch from Great Expectations. The kindly theater manager Vincent Crummles from Nicholas Nickleby. The wicked Edward Murdstone from David Copperfield. And street-smart Inspector Bucket from Bleak House. Shifty Uriah Heep and bumbling Wilkins Micawber from David Copperfield and the wretched Arthur Gride from Nicholas Nickleby will also be there. These famous Dickens characters from his many novels are young, strong, and shrewd, and Fagin and Havisham throws them together like dice tossed in a cup. Miss Havisham will have her revenge. Or maybe not.
