Return Of The Native

About this event

Thomas Hardy’s The Return of the Native is a profound exploration of human desires and the indomitable forces that shape destiny.

Set against the haunting backdrop of Egdon Heath, the novel tells the story of Eustacia Vye, a young woman whose passionate longing for escape and fulfilment drives the narrative inevitably towards it’s tragic conclusion.

With live music, high energy, multi role playing, humour and inventiveness, yet another English classic novel is brought wonderfully to life… Hotbuckle style!
