Great Expectations:Skit Prep!

1. One scene from Great Expectations that I think would be really fun to perform or watch would be when the Pale Young Gentleman and Pip get into a fight outside the Satis House near the beginning of the book. The action would be exciting, and you could do it with just Herbert and Pip, or add on the part where Estella speaks to Pip afterwards.

2. Another scene that would be interesting to see is when Pip first meets Miss Havisham. This is a popular choice but the scene is filled with drama. Estella is extremely rude to Pip while Miss Havisham is being creepy and telling Estella to break his heart. All three of the actors would have fun with this scene.

3. A third scene that would be interesting to see would be when Orlick attacks Pip and threatens to kill him, but Pip is saved by Herbert. It would be fun to act out the fight, and a lot of action happens. It is also the time that Orlick admits to killing Mrs. Joe so it's an important scene.
