Far From The Madding CrowdBy Thomas HardyETT in a co-production with Exeter Northcott
ETT - responsible for last season’s sell-out Uncle Vanya – vividly brings to life Hardy’s much-loved classic of rivalry, jealousy and obsessive love. When Bathsheba Everdene inherits her property, she finds herself the target of three admirers’ affections, and at the centre of a growing feud destined to end in tragedy. Director Kate Saxons's vivid staging will take you on a theatrical journey through Hardy country, with powerful, physical storytelling and live folk song, as one young girl is propelled into womanhood by her experiences of love and loss.
