The Cabinet Makers Daughter

 

Arts Centre

Old Town, Swindon

Friday 19 October 2012

 

It is said that struck by lightning as a baby, 19th Century fossil hunter, Mary Anning was destined to be special; she went onto rock the world of men, science & belief.

It is 1846, and the little town of Lyme Regis, Dorset is battered by howling winter-gales.

Dying and increasingly dependent on Laudanum, Mary Anning embarks on a strange dream journey through a life where she challenged the world of men and shook their beliefs to the core. 

She is haunted by hallucinations of old friends, enemies and even the dinosaurs she spent her life hacking out of the living rock.

Into this world of dreams walks a man she never thought she would see again and attempts to find a resolution to their enigmatic relationship. 

A play about life and death; frustration and achievement; dreams and memories; of long, long ago.

Doors: 7.30pm

 

Tickets: £12.00, Concession £10, Student £7
