Produktbeschreibung

Mary Webb's glorous tale of loves lost and found in the wild countryside of early19th century England. A new world of industry and riches invades the idyllic peace of young Prue and Gideon Sarn's family farm, upsetting lifelong dreams and making wishes come true. Bryony Lavery brings this classic novel to life in a brand new stage adaptation, originally produced by Pentabus Theatre, incorporating large-scale choirs, in outdoor settings.

Autorenporträt

A rounded theatre practitioner, Bryony Lavery's skills extend to performer (most notably as Tinkerbell in Peter Pan at the Drill Hall), artistic director (Gay Sweatshop and Female Trouble), writer of children's theatre (including The Dragon Wakes, Madagaskar, and Down Among the Mini Beast) and of many cabarets (including Floorshow with Caryl Churchill for Monstrous Regiment in 1977). From 1989 to 1992 she was Tutor-Lecturer on the M.A. Playwriting Course at Birmingham University. She is an honorary Doctor of Arts at De Montfort University. 'Lavery is one of the best but most consistently underrated playwrights in the country: her talent is lavish. She is a wonderful technician and always surprising: it is never possible to second-guess her.' - Kate Kellaway, Observer
