Expectations
A TDM Senior Thesis Play Reading by Jonah Sorscher
After years of unsuccessful auditioning in New York City, 26-year-old Margot returns to her childhood home to live with her parents. But when she receives a callback for a theatrical adaptation of Great Expectations, all bets are off. Racing against the dawn of adulthood and the pressures that it brings, she holes up in the attic to method act the role of Miss Havisham, a woman who has fashioned her entire life to remain trapped in a single moment of heartbreak. As fiction and reality begin to blur, so do past and present, ultimately offering the question: what happens when we can't outlive our own expectations?
