Havisham

Step into the ruined heart of Miss Havisham — Dickens’ iconic jilted bride — in this bold, lyrical reimagining of the character of Miss Havisham from Great Expectations. In a crumbling wedding dress, amid the cobwebs and candle smoke, she speaks at last.  Alone in her decaying mansion, Havisham lays bare the betrayal, bitterness, and broken dreams that forged her myth.

Heather Alexander’s compelling solo performance breathes new life into a woman consumed by time, love, and revenge.  With biting wit, poetic intensity and raw vulnerability, Havisham explores the fine line between devotion and delusion.

This one-woman show fuses spoken word and monologue, peeling back the Victorian veneer to reveal the fire beneath the lace.

A haunting, intimate portrait of a soul scorched by abandonment — and a powerful reckoning with the price of memory.

Will you pity her, loathe her — or finally understand her?
