AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Partially adapted from "Arden of Faversham", The Hayloft Project's latest mash-up of classical renovation leaves the Greeks and the Russians on the shelf. Taking an anonymously conceived play from 1592, Arden v Arden pulls the ruff off Elizabethan verse and rebirths it for the here and now. Contemporary characters and language clash with ye olde bloody murder in a brazen experiment that compares our past with our present, finding light and darkness in both. This is an ambitious production of a true crime story that refuses to die, from an independent company that refuses to sit still.' (Publisher's blurb)
