Having performed The Brothers Menaechmus at The Dell as a pupil of Eastbourne College in 1979, Eddie will return on Sunday 11 September at 3.00pm to perform a preview of her one-woman performance of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations.

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. This preview show offers the chance to see Eddie as she follows in Dickens’ footsteps with her live performance of the master storyteller’s much-loved classic.

Tickets are limited, cost £30 each and are on sale now at https://www.wegottickets.com/event/540446

The event takes place in the Dell at Eastbourne College and takes the form of a small amphitheatre. Please bring your own rugs and cushions for comfort. The show will take place come rain or shine so please dress appropriately according to the weather.

A bar will be open during the interval where we will be able to accept cash donations only.
