Thomas Hardy, poet and novelist, shows the unfolding of a new way of life in his beloved Wessex. His characters live out these changes, and his poems reflect his reactions to them.

A new play written for our venues by Ann Davidson with traditional music and costume, well-loved works and hidden gems, our players bring to life this onward march.

Thursday 30th May 2024 at St. Mary’s church Fawley at 7.30pm
