Ockham’s Razor offers free Tess of the D'Urberville school workshops

Between autumn 2023 and spring 2024, the show will tour to Bristol, Salford, Malvern, Warwick, Huddersfield, York, Poole, Didcot, Oxford, London and Exeter.

Circus theatre company Ockham’s Razor has announced a new adaptation of Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles, offering schools free accompanying workshops and teacher resource packs.

Touring the UK from October 2023 to April 2024, Tess will present the well-known story of power, loss and endurance through a feminist lens.

The workshops will explore devising techniques and the themes of the show, and in some areas a pre-show discussion with academics will be offered to students too. 

Tess of the D’Urbervilles is included in the A Level English curriculum, and is also relevant to drama students at both GCSE and A Level stages.
