Previews of Eddie Izzard: Great Expectations - Fri 18th September

Venue: Eastbourne Italian Gardens Location: Eastbourne, UK

A tribute of six performances in memory of Peter Pyemont (Bede’s Headmaster and Dickens fan) & in support of Camilla’s Bookshop in Eastbourne (recently recovering from fire damage).

Eddie Izzard invites you to previews of his solo performance of Charles Dickens’ classic epic Great Expectations, live from the Italian Gardens, Eastbourne in COVID safe conditions.

A tale of convicts, mystery, friendship, rivalry, unrequited love, revenge and redemption.

Actor, comedian – Eddie’s career spans both of these with record-breaking comedy tours and critically acclaimed film, TV and theatre performances. But few know that it was acting that was Eddie’s first love. These preview shows offer the chance to see Eddie as he follows in Dickens’ footsteps with his live performance of the master storyteller’s much-loved classic.

This event is taking place outside at the Italian Gardens, Eastbourne.

The show will go ahead come rain or shine.
