Hijinx Theatre's new autumn touring production, Estella's Fire by Louise Osborn is on at the Torch Theatre, Milford Haven, on Wednesday, September 27, at 7.30 pm, as part of a 10-week tour to small scale venues across Wales and England.
Inspired by the iconic characters from Dickens's Great Expectations, Estella's Fire tells an entirely new and thrilling story.
Estella's Fire examines what would happen if, through force of circumstance, a three-year-old girl was given away by her natural mother, and sent to live with an eccentric old woman whose main purpose is to seek revenge for her own grievous betrayal, by teaching her charge to despise, fear and break the hearts of men.
Deprived of the company of other children, Estella is kept in the dust-laden candlelight and darkness, locked away from the world, in a house where time stands still. In this situation, her passion for freedom begins to take her on an emotional journey. Estella's Fire explores this strange and unnatural world where everything is far from ordinary, and where the buried dreams of a young girl are awakened by the arrival of 'the boy' from beyond the gate.
