Starring Anton Lesser (Wolf Hall, Endeavour), A Beautiful Thread weaves Hardy’s life – dramatic as any of his books – with his beautiful poetry and great novels, including Far From the Madding Crowd and Tess of the d’Urbervilles. Hardy put more music into his work than any other writer, and Orchestra of the Swan play music of shimmering beauty. Anton Lesser and Lucia Bonbright bring a hugely varied cast to dazzling life: Hardy, his mother, his wives, along with the immortal characters from his novels. The show also highlights Hardy’s humour (often overlooked!), his modernity, and the astonishing time-span he lived through.
