Overview
A re-invention of George Eliot's classic story of loss, tragedy and the relentless nature of fate. Outgrowing - but still hopelessly devoted to - her family, Maggie
befriends the disfigured Phillip Wakem, son of a local lawyer. But their
fathers become embroiled in a bitter legal dispute that only the
prosperous Wakem can win, and the Tullivers find fate dealing them the
first harsh hand of many. With their father dead, the family must face
up to their cold future together. Helen Edmundson's stage adaptation of George Eliot's novel The Mill on the Floss was first performed by Shared Experience Theatre Company in 1994.
