Great Expectations Skit Ideas

  • In Chapter 49 when Miss Havisham is sitting by the fire and catches her old wedding dress on fire and Pip uses his greatcoat to try to put the fire out and ends up burning his hands.
  • I personally liked the scene in Chapter 54 when Compeyson and Abel are thrown overboard together but Abel ends up getting away. I'm not sure how this would be acted out, I just thought it would be interesting to see what ideas people came up with.
  • I also thought the scene when Pip is being held captive by Old Orlick in the dark and empty sluice house when Orlick is threatening to kill him for revenge and to burn him in the limekiln so that there would be no evadence or remains of Pip's body so no one would suspect a thing of Orlick.
