Work type: Play.

T01841701419

In 1834, against a backdrop of extreme rural poverty and national turmoil, six lowly men of Dorset found themselves facing the full wrath and power of the British establishment. Commissioned by the TUC 100 years after their arrest, this production of The Tolpuddle Play takes it back to its roots, with the first act at its original venue, Dorchester's Corn Exchange, before processing up to Shire Hall Museum for the second act in the very courtroom where the Martyrs met their fate. Under Tim Laycock and Emma Hill's direction, this is guaranteed to be a spine-chilling, moving and immersive experience.
