Description

All the tragic majesty of Thomas Hardy’s celebrated novel is captured in this arresting and theatrically exciting adaptation, narrated by a masked Chorus in the style of Greek tragedy (Hardy’s favoured form of theatre) and using songs to counterpoint and underline the action.

Michael Fry’s adaptation provides a clear and thrilling experience and an enlightening and fascinating re-revaluation of a familiar text.
