Mary Webb's glorious tale of loves lost and found in the wild countryside of early nineteenth-century England completed a sell-out tour to four country houses last summer. It was an unforgettable theatrical treat, with the audience in amongst the actors and a large choir of singers in a beautiful outdoor setting. This summer the show will be playing for 3 weeks as part of the Shrewsbury Summer Season.
