Well, the evening finally came ... our first face to face social since the pub quiz at The Hesketh on 9th March 2020. Four of us (Christine & Andy, Jenny & Ian) had dinner at Kandy in Macclesfield and then another four of us (Christine & Andy, Daniel & Megan) went on to MADS theatre and saw their production of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall - a stage adaptation of Anne Bronte's novel:
“My life, these past six years or more, and my inmost thoughts, and once you know its contents we must part forever”
When the beautiful and secretive young Helen Graham moves into nearby Wildfell Hall, Gilbert Markham becomes swiftly intrigued and offers his friendship. But as her brusque reclusive behaviour increasingly becomes the subject of local gossip and speculation, Gilbert begins to wonder whether his trust in her has been misplaced. Can Helen escape the disastrous life she has left behind, or will the scandalous details condemn her forever? A literary classic that still packs an emotional punch for a modern audience.
We all thoroughly enjoyed the play. Kudos to Jenny and her wardrobe team for all the costumes.
Here's hoping that omicron notwithstanding we won't have to wait another 21 months to socialise in the same room together!
