Dickens' Great Expectation, adapted by Seattle's Boot-it theatre, played by Portland Center Stage. The play centers at Pip's personal growth, rather than career growth. Emphasizes his encounter of the escaped prisoner, his relationship at home with the brother-in-law, his infatuation of Estella. His life in London is fast-forwarded. In a 2 hour play, this approach makes a reasonable complete story.
Good acting. Same stage set used in different scenes, with credible result. Overall, very enjoyable.
