Skit Ideas

1. When Pip first meets his convict in the marshes. I think this would make a good skit because it gives background on Pip and foreshadows some of what will happen later on in the skit. It wouldn't be hard to do because there are only two characters.
2. The first time Miss Havisham and Estella meet Pip. This would be an interesting scene to act out because both Miss Havisham and Estella have entertaining personalities. It's also a key scene in the book because it changed where Pip's life/ the story was headed.
3. When Abel comes to Pip's apartment. I think this scene is extremely important because it's when Pip finally finds out who his benefactor is and Abel's life story. It begins to sum up the story and connect the characters. This might be a bit long to act out but it would be worth it.

  1. All very good choices! I would also like to see a skit of when Pip and the convict first meet. It would be interesting to see how different people would interperet the two characters.
