Ockham’s Razor, "the UK’s foremost circus theatre company", presents a bold new vision of Hardy’s classic novel, Tess of the D’Urbervilles. Tess uses the original text combined with the physical language of circus, allowing the performers to retell the well-known story of power, loss and endurance through a feminist lens. Hardy’s classic novel still has extraordinary relevance for contemporary audiences as it explores questions of privilege, class, consent, agency, female desire and sisterhood.
