Frances Viner's gritty, non-realistic adaptation of Anne Brontë's 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall', recast and reimagined at The Stables Theatre.
The Fell returns to the Studio at The Stables Theatre this December, running from Wednesday 2 to Saturday 5 December. It's a gritty, lyrical piece of non-realistic theatre about a 19th-century household of servants and its degenerate master, freely adapted by writer and director Frances Viner from Anne Brontë's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall—a story of servitude, class, coercion, carnality and romantic love.
This isn't the first time the show has been on the Stables' stage. It ran back in August, and this return sees it recast and reimagined, so even if you caught it then, it's a different beast this time around. The August run picked up some strong words from critics, who called it 'amazing', 'haunting', 'mesmerising' and 'audacious'.
There are a few things to keep in mind before you book. The show runs about 50 minutes with no interval, and a conversation with the company follows every performance, so you'll have a chance to talk through what you've just seen. Seating is limited to around 20 people, which keeps it intimate. The material implies rape, so there's an age guidance of 15+.
