The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy

Firefly_heath land  in Hardy's Dorset_ed

“To be loved to madness--such was her great desire. Love was to her the one cordial which could drive away the eating loneliness of her days. And she seemed to long for the abstraction called passionate love more than for any particular lover.”

Spring our 2026  - A new adaptation by Adrian Preater

As ever, it's 'how they do it' that makes Hotbuckle productions so memorable  … and this latest show is one of their most memorable yet.

​

Adrian Preater's stage adaptation is a labour of love. Wielding the finest of tooth combs, Adrian has cut through to to the core of what people love most about the book. It's all there … distilled down to a little over two hours … with no omissions of note.
