Hardy Annuals - Jan Wyld, Richard Willetts, Richard Hall

Thomas Hardy was fascinated with music; again and again it exerts influence over the characters and action in his poems and novels. With the help of a violin (Hardy’s own instrument) we explore this fascination with music and readings both serious and comic, tragic and farcical.

Venue: King Alfred’s Kitchen – Nuns’ Passage
