Description
Adapted from the novel by Mary Webb, Gone to Earth is the story of a free-spirited country lass, who is loved both by the wicked squire and the altruistic minister. Edmundson has incorporated folk-dance, song and dialect into the rural Shropshire setting. It is a style well-suited to Shared Experience, the company that produced Edmundson’s acclaimed adaptations of Anna Karenina and The Mill on the Floss.
