Far From The Madding Crowd | Bristol Old Vic Theatre School

Directed by Paul Chesterton | Adapted by Mark Healy | Designed by Max Dorey

Based on the literary classic by Thomas Hardy, Far from the Madding Crowd is the story of Bathsheba Everdene. Having inherited her fathers farm, Bathsheba finds herself playing mistress in a mans world. She is pursued by three very different suitors: Gabriel Oak, a sheep farmer, captivated by her fetching wilfulness; the handsome and reckless Sergeant Troy; and William Boldwood, a prosperous and obsessive landowner. But are any of them a match for the independent and spirited Bathsheba?

This amateur production of Far from the Madding Crowd is presented by special arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
