The arrival of a new tenant, a young woman with a child – but, scandalously, no husband - enthralls and appals the locals.
Helen has a secret, one she must keep for the sake of her son. But as a friendship threatens to turn to romance, she knows it’s time to face the past.
Adapted from Anne Brontë’s 1848 novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall’s portrayal of privilege, patriarchy and a woman’s fight for independence remains compellingly contemporary.
Performed by third-year Acting students.
This amateur production of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is presented in arrangement with United Agents.
Part of the Children of the Revolution season
A series of stories set in the post-industrial-revolution era, where Victorian sensibilities are combined with modern storytelling to shine a light on tales that still resonate and shock. Presented by Acting, Dance, Music, Sound Technology, Theatre & Performance Design and Theatre & Production Technology students.
Contains strong language and adult themes. Recommended 14+.
