Set in early 19th century rural England, this is the compelling and passionate story of Prue Sarn - a young woman with a facial disfigurement that is viewed with hostility by local people. Prue is an unlikely but timeless heroine who demonstrates the bravery and spirit of true beauty. How can she influence her brother to follow his heart and choose love over money? Will she ever fulfil her dream and win the love of the weaver, Kester Woodseaves. The production, performed in the open air and complete with a beautiful original score sung by choirs of up to 100 singers at each venue, will tour some spectacular outdoor venues this July in association with English Heritage, the National Trust and the Watermill Theatre, Newbury.
