George Eliot's Silas Marner

Description

The story of Silas Marner, reclusive miser transformed by the arrival of a young girl, is one of the most memorable and moving in Victorian literature. This adaptation captures the novel's thirty-year sweep in a series of telling scenes, each displaying Eliot's gifts for humour, insight, narrative and simple beauty. The twenty named parts can be played by a cast of seven with a minimum of costume changes and props.
