GREAT EXPECTATIONS
by Tanika Gupta
Presented at Grant Street Theatre
21st - 25th October 2025
Tanika Gupta’s Great Expectations relocates Dickens’ tale to Bengal at the height of the British Raj. Performed by a versatile ensemble, the story becomes one of shifting power, fractured class hierarchies, and the weight of colonial rule. As Partition looms and empire declines, lives are entangled in love, betrayal, and ambition, revealing how personal dreams cannot be separated from the turbulence of history.
