George Eliot is brought to bold and dramatic life, through Eliot’s novels, letters, journals, poetry and journalism.
The second richest woman of her day (after Queen Victoria), Eliot’s great works – Middlemarch, The Mill on the Floss, Adam Bede – and clear vision resonate as powerfully today.
‘A writer’s task is unravelling certain human lots, and seeing how they are woven and interwoven,’ wrote Eliot.
Harriet Walter* celebrates her long, acclaimed association with George Eliot – through film, TV and radio – in a virtuoso performance that gives voice to Eliot, her immortal characters, and the people in her life.
In tune with George Eliot’s radicalism, David Le Page has devised a dazzlingly creative music programme that features 21st century female singer-songwriters including Kate Bush, Florence + the Machine and FKA twigs. Orchestra of the Swan performs with acclaimed singer-songwriter, SuRie. Internationally renowned for classical, pop and musical theatre, SuRie also won the Offie for Lead Performance in a Musical in 2024 for her portrayal of Annie in Annie Get Your Gun.
