A night of theatre for The Salvation Army in St Albans

Theatre lovers and supporters of The Salvation Army are invited to a fundraising performance of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations in St Albans next month.

The event, in support of the church and charity’s community work in Harpenden and St Albans, is at The Abbey Theatre in St Albans on 12 June and proceeds will go directly to support The Salvation Army’s local outreach programs which include food banks, homelessness support and family services.

The production will be performed by The Company of Ten, St Albans oldest theatrical group, and brings Dickens’ unforgettable novel to life including Pip, Miss Havisham, Estella in a story of ambition, redemption and compassion.
