DESCRIPTION:Presented by Hambletts. Suitable for ages 12+years. Starring
Anton Lesser (Endeavour, Wolf Hall, Game of Thrones), this is
Hardy’s life story – dramatic as any of his books – told
through his sublime poetry, letters, and great novels,
including Far From the Madding Crowd, Tess of the
d’Urbervilles, and Jude the Obscure. Anton Lesser and Lucia
Bonbright bring a varied cast to dazzling life: from Hardy’s
immortal characters and Hardy himself, his mother, Jemima and
wives, Emma and Florence, to George Bernard Shaw and Virginia
Woolf! The show highlights Hardy’s humour (often
overlooked!), his modernity, the astonishing time-span he
lived through, and his global reach, from Hollywood to Japan.
Adapted by Deirdre Shields, Hardy’s extraordinary writing
shines bright as ever. Thomas Hardy put more music in his
novels than any other writer, and Orchestra of the Swan’s
Artistic Director, David Le Page has devised a musical
programme of shimmering beauty that weaves around the words,
from classical music to contemporary folk, performed live by
on-stage musicians from Orchestra of the Swan.
Running time:
1 hours 40 mins, including 20 mins interval.
