Open Air Theatre: Vanity Fair
Welcome to the whirligig of VANITY FAIR!
Take your place on the carousel - among the social climbers, buffoons and preening dandies. In a world of gossip and speculation, where scandal and celebrity can turn on a sixpence, we follow the twisting fortunes of Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley.
All is to play for and the stakes are perilously high - for romantic Amelia, consumed with her obsessive love and Becky, an irrepressible schemer who will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
Moving Parts Theatre Company take a fresh and inventive approach to the classics. This brand-new adaptation of Thackeray’s rarely performed tale of greed, ambition, love and betrayal will transport audiences from Regency salons and ballrooms to the battlefield of Waterloo!
With a dazzling score of original music by composer Tamara Douglas-Morris and bold, inventive movement devised by Offie-nominated Nevana Stojkov, don’t miss this exciting new adaptation created by the company’s trio, Joanna Nevin, Martin South and Simona Hughes.
This is an outdoor production, so please bring a chair or blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather.
