On Remembrance weekend, The Invitation Theatre Company are bringing The Hired Man to Devizes. Acclaimed for its epic, nostalgic, funny book and rousing, romantic, award-winning score, The Hired Man is arguably the finest new British musical of the last 30 years. Set against the backdrop of the Cumbrian lakes in the early years of the 20th century, it tells the timeless, moving story of a young married couple and their struggle to carve a living from the land, just as the traditional rhythms of English country life are being swept away.
The Hired Man is based on the much-loved novel by Melvyn Bragg, and brought to life by the heartbreakingly-beautiful music of Howard Goodall.
The show runs at the Bear Hotel in the Market Place from November 6-8 at 7.30pm. Tickets are available now from www.titco.org.uk
