The watermill theatre summer production is coming to the village club on saturday 10th june

Mansfield Park

Adapted by Tonderal Munyevu and Arne Pohlmeier from the novel by Jane Austen.

This inventive and intelligent outdoor production reveals a fresh perspective on Jane Austen's classic romance.

When young Fanny Price is sent to live with her wealthy cousins, she quickly grows from a timid child into a clever, witty young woman with a fine moral compass. At Mansfield Park, Fanny meets the frivolous Crawfords. They introduce her to a world of reckless flirtation, unrequited love, and decadence.

As their antics escalate, Fanny is led further astray until her uncle's departure to visit his plantation in Antigua. Forced to confront the source of her family's wealth and its true cost, Fanny must ask some difficult questions. Where does she belong? Will she ever find love? And what does it take to be the heroine of your own life?

The performance starts at 7pm but the Village Club grounds will be open from 6pm to allow the audience to have a picnic supper beforehand.

Tickets are available at £15 from the Village Store or from
