'Vanity Fair' in the Worcester College Gardens

Moving Parts Theatre Company returns to Worcester’s gardens with their brand-new production of Vanity Fair, playing two performances on Sunday 29 June at 2pm and 6.30pm.

Welcome to Vanity Fair – a giddy carousel of social climbers, buffoons and preening dandies. In a world of gossip and speculation, where scandal and celebrity can turn on a sixpence, we follow the twisting fortunes of Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley. All is to play for and the stakes are perilously high – for romantic Amelia, consumed with her obsessive love, and Becky, an irrepressible schemer who will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

Following the success of last year’s production of Much Ado About Nothing at Worcester College, we are delighted to welcome back Moving Parts Theatre Company, with their fresh and inventive approach to the classics. This brand new adaptation of Thackeray’s rarely performed tale of greed, ambition, love and betrayal will transport audiences from Regency salons and ballrooms to the battlefield of Waterloo!

With a dazzling score of original music by composer Tamara Douglas-Morris and bold, inventive movement devised by Offie-nominated Nevana Stojkov, don’t miss this exciting new adaptation created by the company’s trio: Joanna Nevin, Martin South and Simona Hughes.
