A new production of Great Expectations is opening. Kathleen Chalfant is Miss Havisham which is excellent casting.
But they have Christian Campbell as Pip. Wasn't Pip a kid or am I confusing this with Oliver?

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 10/5/06 at 11:46amPip starts out as a kid, but he is a young adult thoughout most of the book. To give you an idea, Ethan Hawke played him in the most recent movie adaptation.

Posted: 10/5/06 at 11:46amyou are right. Pip is a kid, but the book spans many years. we do get to see Pip grow into adulthood about halfway through the book.
