Mayor of Casterbridge, September 1994

A rural community riddled with gossip and superstition. Michael Henchard, a respected, wealthy man, is the Mayor with a hidden past. What were his past cruel deeds, how long will his deceit lay quiet and who controls his fate? New arrivals signal a dramatic change in the Mayor’s fortunes in this compelling new adaptation from the company who brought you Brideshead Revisited, Wuthering Heights and Brave New World.
