Details

Inspired by the characters of Estella and Miss Havisham from 'Great Expectations'. Estella's Fire tells an entirely new story, where she becomes the heroine of her own fascinating narrative. As a young girl Estella was sent to live with an eccentrically reclusive old woman. She is locked away from the world, behind gated walls in a place where time stands still. Everything is far from ordinary, until the hidden needs and desires of this vulnerable girl are awakened by the arrival of 'the boy' form beyond the gate. Join Estella on an emotional journey from childhood to adulthood as she struggles to act on her own feelings rather than the motives forced on her by others. Can Estella rise from the ashes to become a strong and empowered young woman?
