Richmond Theatre : Far From The Madding Crowd OLD EVENT
By Thomas Hardy
Adapted by Mark Healy
I shall do one thing in this life. That is love you, long for you and keep wanting you 'til I die
A fusion of vivid story telling and fine ensemble staging, shot through with humour and folk-song, brings one of Thomas Hardy's most popular and enduring novels dramatically to life in this thrilling new production from the ever-inventive English Touring Theatre.
Bathsheba Everdene is alone in a man's world. Beautiful and headstrong, she is pursued by three suitors; the constant friend Gabriel Oak; the wealthy, obsessive William Boldwood; and the reckless, dazzling Sergeant Troy. But is any of them a match for the passionate Bathsheba? A woman who will give herself only to a man she loves.
This production reunites the creative team behind the acclaimed The French Lieutenant's Woman in 2006. ETT's work is vigorous, popular and above all entertaining. Anyone who saw their thrilling Hamlet, with the fabulously brooding Ed Stoppard, will need no introduction to this powerhouse of touring theatre.
