Story
One of the most revered works in English literature, Great Expectations traces the coming of age of a young orphan, Pip, from a boy of shallow aspirations into a man of maturity. From the chilling opening confrontation with an escaped convict to the grand but eerily disheveled estate of bitter old Miss Havisham, all is not what it seems in Dickens’ dark tale of false illusions and thwarted desire.

Story
The tellers of Greek myths—historically men—have routinely sidelined the female characters. When they do take a larger role, women are often portrayed as monstrous, vengeful or just plain evil—like Pandora, the woman of eternal scorn and damnation whose curiosity is tasked with causing all the world’s suffering and wickedness when she opened that forbidden box. But, as Natalie Haynes reveals, in ancient Greek myths there was no box. It was a jar . . . which is far more likely to tip over.

Henry Winkler, launched into prominence as “The Fonz” in the beloved Happy Days, has transcended the role that made him who he is. Brilliant, funny, and widely regarded as the nicest man in Hollywood (though he would be the first to tell you that it’s simply not the case, he’s really just grateful to be here), Henry shares in this achingly vulnerable memoir the disheartening truth of his childhood, the difficulties of a life with severe dyslexia, the pressures of a role that takes on a life of its own, and the path forward once your wildest dream seems behind you.

Publisher's summary
From Little Nell to Miss Havisham, Dickens’ Women tells the story of Charles Dickens’ life through his beloved characters. Cowritten and performed by Miriam Margolyes, best known for her role as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter films, this one-women show is a celebration of her infectious passion for Dickens’ work.
Taking on 23 different Dickensian characters, many of whom were inspired by real people such as Mary Hogwarth, Dickens' sister-in-law, Margolyes showcases her astonishing versatility as a performer.
Dickens’ Women delighted audiences across the world in 2012 as Margolyes took her Olivier nominated show on tour for the bicentenary of Dickens' birth.

RSC's Miriam Margolyes Bravura Performance
I first saw Miriam M in the role of Mrs. Squeers in the traveling production of the RSC's NICHOLAS NICKLEBY directed by Trevor Nunn. This performance is equally apocalyptic.
In just under 90 minutes, Ms. Margolyes delivers an interpretation of more than 10 central and peripheral characters in Dickens' novels and short stories. In doing so she dignifies forever the role of the actor in society, revealing the ways in which the women in Dickens' life informed his characters -- and how his rendering of these characters revealed the authors' life -- including its more demonic sides.
With only a few rare exceptions, I have never felt as riveted to any recorded performance as much as this. Margolyes is a master of voice and character in her readings, so much so that she puts the garden variety book performer to shame.
In addition, her revelatory interpretations of female characters from a dozen novels and short pieces illuminate the themes and dramatic strategies of the works in a manner that has eluded the best of critics.
The readings run deeply enough to bear repeated listening. You may not love Dickens, the man, as much as you did when you started, but you will want to read more of his work sooner than later.
A triumph for a song.

I look forward to pressing PLAY on this recording whenever I need a break from something heavy or depressing. Miriam Margolyes never fails to make me laugh and be in awe at her interpretations of some of Dickens’ most memorable women characters. Her biographical sketch is engaging as well. Maybe one day I can see her live!

Brava. Miriam
If my copy of this performance were on a CD, I would have worn it out by now. Rarely have I been so entertained as well as informed.
Miriam Margolyes may well be the most brilliant voice artist we have among us. In this performance she includes passages from Dickens' novels that depict some of her favorite female characters. Miss Margolyes combines her own commentary on Dickens himself with a rollicking musical accompaniment. She made me laugh and she made me weep.

Entertaining and thought provoking
Miriam Margolyes has a splendid treasure: her voice. By turns light, airy, funny, provocative, sad, or despondent, she brings to wonderful life the women, both real and imagined, who peopled Charles Dickens's life. This recording of the stage play (co-written by Ms. Margoleyes herself) is a joy to listen to. Give your ears - and imagination - a treat by experiencing it as soon as possible. You won't regret it.

Simply perfect
I saw Miriam Margolyes perform this live several years ago and thought it one of the best things I'd ever seen on a stage. She so perfectly captures the humour, range, eccentricity, poignancy and heartbreak. It was a performance that had stayed with me ever since, and this recording brings it all back. Both the writing and the performance are witty, moving and insightful, and the delicate piano accompaniments/interludes enhance the experience still further. The whole thing is simply perfect.
