A Few Crusted Characters
7 June @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
To celebrate their 20th year, the New Hardy Players bring Thomas Hardy’s famous series of short stories to Abbotsbury Swannery. Dorset’s most celebrated author’s answer to ‘The Canterbury Tales’, this is a series of comic and tragic stories, with small scenes of village gossip from 200 years ago, told by an ensemble of authentic Dorset voices.
Suitable for all ages, the play is followed by country dancing with live music in the best tradition.
Come early and bring a picnic! No seating provided.
