SUMMARY:William Barnes\, Robert Young\, and the Spirit of Stur
DESCRIPTION:“William Barnes\, Robert Young and the Spirit of Stur”\nDavid Fox shares insights into the past of the town and Vale life as depicted in the poetry and writings of William Barnes (1801-86) and Robert Young (1811-1908). Both were Sturminster-born and David puts this into the context of local history. Young witnessed local celebrations of victory at Waterloo\, the arrival of the railway in 1863 and lived to see a motor car. Barnes’ poetry of Blackmore Vale life saw him receive visits from the likes of Tennyson\, and he was mentor to the young Thomas Hardy.\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/william-barnes-robert-young-and-the-spirit-of-stur-tickets-300547464557

SUMMARY:Great Expectations by Bristol Old Vic Theatre School
DESCRIPTION:From humble beginnings in the marshlands of Kent\, young Pip is determined to make strides in the big city and get a leg-up in society. Pip is quickly caught up in a world of compelling characters – the elderly jilted bride Miss Haversham\, the criminal Magwitch and alluring Estella. Can our ambitious protagonist realise his dreams or will life inevitably present itself with obstacles and trickery? \nAbounding in trademark Dickensian humour\, this wry coming-of-age story has been a landmark of English Literature since its publication in 1861 and continues to charm readers to this day. \nTeeming with eccentricity\, fearsome convicts\, stopped clocks\, decay and decadence\, Jo Clifford’s adaptation breathes new life into this beloved tale\, and vividly is brought to the stage by director Jenny Stephens and students from Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. \nOpened in 1946 by Laurence Olivier\, the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School has grown a reputation for attracting the very best in young acting talent and\, as such\, has some notable alumni to its name including Daniel Day Lewis\, Greta Scacchi\, Peter O’Toole\, Olivia Colman and many more. The School’s annual visit to Dorset has always been a firm favourite on the Artsreach programme and we are delighted to welcome them back this summer for the first time since 2019!

SUMMARY:Literary Lunch with Christopher Nicholson at Crown Inn\, Marnhull
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Nicholson is the author of several highly-praised works of fiction\, including ‘The Elephant Keeper’\, which was short-listed for the Costa Novel Prize\, and ‘Winter’\, a study of Thomas Hardy in old age. ‘Winter’ was described by the Times as ‘pitch-perfect….shrouded in ice\, fog and the dark shadows of the trees that tower over Max Gate\,’ and by the Guardian as ‘a superfine\, thistledown novel about a novelist\, a place and about love and loss’. David Lodge called it ‘a wonderful novel\, moving\, gripping and illuminating.’ In this talk Nicholson will be investigating the strange story of Hardy’s association with one of the rarest of all British birds\, the cream-coloured courser.\nThe ticket price includes a set two-course lunch at the Crown Inn\, Marnhull. The Crown is famous for its association with Tess of the D’Urbervilles.\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/literary-lunch-with-christopher-nicholson-at-crown-inn-marnhull-tickets-300468989837

SUMMARY:Thomas Hardy and His Correspondents
DESCRIPTION:Professor Angelique Richardson and Dr Cath Sawyer discuss their work with the University of Exeter’s Hardy’s Correspondents project.\nThis presentation will introduce the University of Exeter’s Hardy’s Correspondents project\, a digital humanities collaboration with Dorset Museum\, and look at ways in which the letters Hardy wrote\, received\, and respondd to\, shed light on his many-sidedness\, his relationships\, including with other writers such as A.E. Housman\, Siegfried Sassoon and Virginia Woolf\, and his political activism on behalf of the oppressed\, notably his support for women’s suffrage\, world peace\, and animal rights. \nHardy received thousands of letters from all round the world\, including from Australia\, Chile\, China\, India\, Ireland\, Japan\, New Zealand\, Nigeria\, the Philippines\, and Syria\, from actors (e.g. Henry Irving\, Ellen Terry\, Sybil Thorndike\, Irene Vanbrugh)\, artists (von Herkomer\, George Du Maurier\, Helen Paterson)\, musicians (e.g. Elgar\, Vaughan Williams\, Holst)\, fans and other members of the public. The presentation will also illuminate the social practice of letter writing and consider how the form best served Hardy\, even after he acquired a telephone. \nThis talk will be given by Professor Angelique Richardson in discussion with Dr Steph Alder. \nAngelique Richardson is Professor of English and a historian of science at the University of Exeter where she leads the Hardy’s Correspondents Project. Her books include Love and Eugenics in the Late 19th Century\, After Darwin: Animals\, Emotions and the Mind and Women Who Did: Stories by Men and Women\, 1890-1914.\nDr Steph Alder recently completed her PhD on Literary Censorship and the Victorian Novel and is editor of the Thomas Hardy Journal and the Hardy Society Journal. She is an Early Career Research Fellow with the Institute of English Studies and a Visiting Fellow with Reading University’s Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing. \nThis event is part of Sturminster Newton Literary Festival.\nhttps://theexchange.savoysystems.co.uk/TheExchange.dll/TSelectItems.waSelectItemsPrompt.TcsWebMenuItem_0.TcsWebTab_0.TcsProgramme_978940

SUMMARY:Whispering Willows by Wassail Theatre
DESCRIPTION:It’s 1929. Morris has been planting\, harvesting\, basket making and drinking tea on his Somerset willow farm since before he can remember. Every year the same pattern repeats itself.

She eats too much\, breaks everything in his workshop and is a complete nuisance. But as time moves on\, they teach each other the ways of the willow. Planting\, harvesting\, weaving… the cycle continues\, and all is well in their world until the chaos of WW2 and the invention of plastic threaten to destroy the farm and their livelihoods. Can they find a new use for Willow before it’s too late? \nFounded in 2015\, Wassail is a Somerset based theatre company. Pack a picnic and join them in Springhead Gardens for a beautiful\, non-verbal story that’s suitable for all the family featuring puppets crafted from Somerset willow and an evocative original soundtrack.

SUMMARY:Whispering Willows by Wassail Theatre
DESCRIPTION:It’s 1929. Morris has been planting\, harvesting\, basket making and drinking tea on his Somerset willow farm since before he can remember. Every year the same pattern repeats itself. Plant\, harvest\, weave. Plant\, harvest\, weave… \nOne day he pulls up a particularly large piece of willow with a girl clinging to the end of it! She eats too much\, breaks everything in his workshop and is a complete nuisance. But as time moves on\, they teach each other the ways of the willow. Planting\, harvesting\, weaving… the cycle continues\, and all is well in their world until the chaos of WW2 and the invention of plastic threaten to destroy the farm and their livelihoods. Can they find a new use for Willow before it’s too late? \nFounded in 2015\, Wassail is a Somerset based theatre company. Pack a picnic and join them in Springhead Gardens for a beautiful\, non-verbal story that’s suitable for all the family featuring puppets crafted from Somerset willow and an evocative original soundtrack. The performance takes place through Artsreach\, the counties touring arts charity. \nSuitable for ages 6+\nRunning Time: 40mins \n* Please note that this is an outdoor performance – dress for all weather and bring your own seating. Assistance dogs only. Picnics welcomed
