Skits

One scene I think would be good would be the one of pip's first visit to Jagger's house where he's accompanied by Herbert, Startop and Drummle. Specifically I think the part about Molly's wrist would be really cool because for one it was really intense and creepy the way jaggers talked about them, and secondly, it's a pretty important part in the plot foreshadowing all this stuff revealed about Estella and her parents.

Another scene I think would be cool is the one where magwich arrives at pips place and reveals himself as pips benefactor. The dialogue with which magwich revels his identity is really funny and clever and I think the contrast in attitudes (pip's and magwich's) would play out really clearly when acted out.


One more scene I think would be interesting to preform is the one at the blue bore where pip runs into Drummle on his way to visit Miss Havisham and Estella and they have a stand off regarding their space at the fire. This scene seems important because it seems to stand for more than just fire space. It ties into their pride and feeling of special connection to Estella. And the brief dialogue they do have just spells out the dislike they have for one another.
