Under The Greenwood Tree

---

Written by Thomas Hardy

Adapted for the stage and performed by Mark Carey

Music performed by ARKangel

Under the Greenwood Tree follows members of the village choir as they are replaced by a church organ, set against the backdrop of a humorous love story. The book explores themes of love, social class, and the nostalgia for disappearing village traditions. 

The performance is a beautiful combination of spoken word, by renowned actor Mark Carey, and live music from the highly acclaimed ARKangel.
