Silas Marner or The Weaver of Raveloe is one of the great stories by one of Coventry's most celebrated writers - George Eliot (the pen name of Mary Ann Evans). This new musical theatre version of the story celebrates Coventry-born creativity. Set in the village of Raveloe, a fictional version of Allesley and featuring the local Rainbow pub... as itself, this is a classic tale of hope, redemption and the unshakeable power of the human spirit. With themes that are still relevant today: Marner is a lonely refugee fleeing intolerance and misunderstanding and is viewed with distrust by local people because he comes from a distant part of the country. Robbed of his hard-earned gold, he adopts a foundling child and is gradually welcomed into the community he has shunned.
