This highly acclaimed, atmospheric play with music has been described as East Anglia’s very own Les Miserables, bringing to life the people that populate the picture, lives defined not by simplicity and virtue, but by hardship, hope and resilience.
Turning the traditional, bucolic, chocolate box ideal of The Hay Wain on its head, you’ll never look at the landscape in quite the same way again.
The play is written by Thomas R Edwards and produced by Packing Shed Theatre.
As well as watching the play, you will also be able to enjoy snacks and drinks from the National Trust catering team before the event and in the interval.
