- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 22 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Starring Anton Lesser (Wolf Hall, Endeavour), A Beautiful Thread weaves Hardy’s life – dramatic as any of his books – with his beautiful poetry and great novels, including Far From the Madding Crowd and Tess of the d’Urbervilles. Hardy put more music into his work than any other writer, and  Orchestra of the Swan play music of shimmering beauty.
