And, thanks to the Armonico Consort under Christopher Monks, it is easy to see why this most enjoyable and lovable music has always been in the repertoire.

A new production from Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, adapted by Michael Fry, takes a unique approach to the tragic story by casting not one, but three, Tess Durbeyfields, each of whom powerfully represents a stage of her life, from the young innocent girl sent by her mother to claim kin with the grand D'Urbervilles only to have her trust horribly abused played touchingly by Katie Moore who passes Tess's symbolic red shawl to Tala Holmes-Gouveia who plays an older and wiser woman while retaining the caution and sweetness that typified Katie's performance. When Angel Clare betrays her, unable to accept her past, the shawl passes to the final Tess, Nora Wardell, who brings yet another quality to the role - playing a harsher, more knowing woman, a woman who can finally take control of her own destiny.
