The Hand of Ethelberta
The New Hardy Players
To mark the 150th Anniversary of The Hand of Ethelberta, The New Hardy Players are producing a new Autumn production.
THS Conference delegates and THS members are invited to an exclusive "Taster Performance" with The New Hardy Players presenting Act 1, where Ethelberta is introduced, along with all her potential suitors and the dilemma: Who should she marry?
The novel was subtitled "A Comedy in Chapters" and the production will reflect the comedic elements of the novel.
