Current Stage

Great Expectations: The Making of a Gentleman is currently in active development.

Following a table read in March 2026, the script and score were refined through a focused rehearsal period before a staged reading was presented at Wexford Arts Centre in June 2026 with a cast, pianist and director before an invited audience. 

The project is now seeking the resources required to move towards its first full production.
