As part of our 250th Anniversary Celebrations of Constable's birth, this highly acclaimed play by Packing Shed Theatre returns to Flatford. With music that has been described as East Anglia's very own Les Miserables, the play brings 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.
This is an open air theatre event in the Granary Garden at Flatford. Refreshments will be available before the start and in the interval.
