death of the child is investigated and the truth revealed.

Hotbuckle Productions present
GREAT EXPECTATIONS
by Charles Dickens adapted by Adrian Preater
Hotbuckle
explode onto the stage with this new, innovative adaptation of one of Dickens’
greatest novels. With all the comedy, mystery, violent melodrama, suspense and
poignancy of the original, it tells of Pip’s journey from boyhood to manhood as
he seeks to discover who he is and find his place in an inhospitable world. It
is a story of love and loss, of guilt and shame, of fear and courage and has
some of the most vivid and memorable characters in all of English literature.
With the bicentenary of Dickens’ birth in 2012, this electrifying, exhilarating
and moving production is a must-see.

HOTEL PARADISO
By Georges Feydeau and Maurice Desvallieres
The first year extended diplomas present Feydeau’s
hirlarious farce. Boniface arrives at
the Hotel Paradiso to meet Marcelle; Maxime has been enticed there by an enterprising
and amorous maidservant; Cot goes there to investigate the strange noises which
he is convinced emanate from the drains.
In order to avoid extremely compromising confrontations, everyone spends
the entire night dashing up and down the stairs, in and out of beds in a
crescendo of hilarious chaos which is made even worse by a sudden police raid
on the unsavoury hotel.
