Touring companies back at the Swan | |
|  | | Swan Theatre |
| | Two touring companies are visiting the newly reopened Swan Theatre in Worcester with dramatisations of classic novels. |
| | | Charlotte Bronte's classic tale of love and insanity Jane Eyre is being brought to the Swan by The Good Company and stars Clare Wilkie as Jane Eyre and Brian Deacon as Rochester.
The love of Jane and Rochester, the dark secret of his wife and her insanity, the great house that is burnt to the ground should lead to a powerful drama.
This new adaptation uses a striking set, lighting and evocative music to capture the essence of Charlotte Bronte's unique imagination and an emotional landscape of haunting power.
Hardy perennial
After Bronte comes Hardy and an adaptation of Far From The Madding Crowd by the award winning Middle Ground Theatre Company.
This stars Stephen McGann, Frazer Hines and Kevin Pallister.
This is a Dorset love story, which tells the tale of the spirited Bathsheba Everdine and her rural loves.
The show has a period set live music, country dance, and Wessex song and humour.
Emmerdale's Frazer Hines stars as love sick Farmer Boldwood, Stephen McGann as Loyal Gabriel Oak and Kevin Pallister as the dashing Sergeant Troy. | | | |
