Tess of the D’urbervilles

Thomas Hardy’s best known and most passionate Dorset story is brought faithfully to life in a fresh adaptation which is “As true to the book as you can possibly get” – Country and Border Magazine.

From the company which specializes in period productions “with impressive results” – Dorset Echo. With a captivating plot, atmospheric music, songs, country dances and a good measure of ‘Wessex comedy it relives the struggles of fair maiden Tess who, having fallen victim to the desires of bounder Alec D’Urberville, fights to keep her family from starvation, forget the name D’Urberville, and gain forgiveness from Angel Clare – the man she truly loves.

Recreated with fine attention to period detail from the glorious opening springtide fertility dance to its dramatic climax amongst the brooding ruins of Stonehenge. 

‘Anyone who goes to see this theatre company’s adaptation of Hardy’s timeless classic, who hasn’t read the book, will certainly be inspired to do so after seeing it brought to life superbly on stage’
