George Eliot in Words & Music

After their sell-out Red Sky at Sunrise last spring, Hambletts and Orchestra of the Swan return to bring 19th century writer George Eliot to bold and dramatic life. This female-led show tells George Eliot’s story through her great novels, letters, journals, poetry, and journalism. Performed by acclaimed singer-songwriter SuRie and Orchestra of the Swan alongside a guest leading actress. In tune with Eliot’s radicalism, a dazzling music programme of contemporary female singer-songwriters, including Kate Bush, PJ Harvey, FKA Twigs and Florence + the Machine, weaves around Eliot’s immortal words.
