Neil Bartlett’s acclaimed adaptation of Great  Expectations thrillingly brings to life on the stage some of Charles Dickens' most memorable characters. The aspirational Pip, the  kindly blacksmith Joe Gargery, the mysterious convict Abel Magwitch, the eccentric Miss Haversham, her beautiful ward Estella and Pip's good-hearted room-mate Herbert Pocket.

Through a series of strange and thrilling encounters, from its famous opening on the Kent marshes to its dramatic conclusion at Satis House, secrets of the past and strange twists of fate are revealed as Pip unravels the truth behind the mysterious financial bequest that makes him a gentleman. As events steer him towards maturity, he makes  his most important discovery, finding the truth about himself.

This episode of Lights Up! features Cait Hart Dyke interviewing Pip, young Pip and Stella (Ian Wainwright,  Kat Spiga and Ellen Fife).

Preview of Ulster American for its London premiere following acclaimed productions in Edinburgh and Dublin. This scintillating play examines issues of cultural identity, abuse of power, and male privilege. It's uncompromising, exhilarating, viciously funny, and not for the faint of heart.  Three people meet on the eve of rehearsals for a new West End play about the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Hollywood star Jay wants to explore his Irish heritage, director Leigh wants to run the National Theatre, and playwright Ruth wants to meet Quentin Tarantino, but without having to compromise her artistic vision. Three careers could be made – or broken. Then something is said that cannot be unsaid, a line is crossed, and mayhem ensues.  This episode features Cait Hart Dyke interviewing one of the three stars, Paddy Cooper.
