Rehearsal photos have dropped ahead of the West End premiere of Mark Evans’ Dickens mash up Bleak Expectations at the Criterion Theatre.

The full ensemble cast – who appear in the rehearsal photos – include Ashh Blackwood, Shane David-Joseph, J.J. Henry, John Hopkins, Dom Hodson, Serena Manteghi, Marc Pickering and Rachel Summers.
This hilarious, fast-paced comedy is written by Mark Evans and directed by Caroline Leslie, based on the hit BBC Radio 4 comedy. The creative team also includes Designer Katie Lias, Lighting Designer Andrew Exeter, Sound Designer Ella Wahlström, and Casting Director Lucy Jenkins and Sooki McShan.
