Starring Anton Lesser
with Lucia Bonbright and Orchestra of the Swan
Hambletts events are delighted to bring this beautiful production to Longborough.
A Beautiful Thread weaves Hardy’s life – dramatic as any of his books – with his breathtaking poetry and great novels, including Far From the Madding Crowd, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, and Jude the Obscure. Hardy put more music into his work than any other writer, and Orchestra of the Swan’s Artistic Director, David Le Page has devised a musical programme of shimmering beauty – a Mellstock folk band style, that combines West Gallery music with Holst, Warlock and contemporary folk. Adapted by Deirdre Shields, Hardy’s extraordinary writing shines bright as ever.
