Imaginatively exploring Charles Dickens' classic tale and taking the idea further, Great Expectations:The Untold Story traces the side-story of Abel Magwitch (John Stanton, The Dismissal) and his remarkable journey from England to Australia and back again. Set in the mid-19th century, The Untold Story follows Magwitch's rough reputation and loathing for the upper-class, leading to a run-in with forger Roger Compeyson (Robert Coleby, Anzacs). Transported to Australia as a convict, Magwitch works hard to establish a new life - keeping his head low and neck out of the noose. Working for a man named Tankerton (Ron Haddrick) and befriending his daughter Bridget (Sigrid Thornton, The Man From Snowy River). Frustrated with Bridget's relationship with arch enemy Compeyson, Magwitch sets his sights on the gold rush, looking to strike it lucky one day and benevolently reward young Pip (Todd Boyce) back in England, a boy who truly helped him in his time of need. Also featuring Noel Ferrier, Anne-Louise Lambert, Michael Caton, Gerard Kennedy, Bruce Spence, Nell Schofield, Martin Vaughan, Jill Forsterand Serge Lazareff Great Expectations: The Untold Story is a sweeping Dickensian tale of romance, dark deeds and the road to redemption.
