Hereward

Hereward
by VJ Clark

directed by Graham Davidson
assistant director: Mary Davidson
original music and lyrics by VJ Clark
Hereward is loosely based on the Lincolnshire folklore hero Hereward the Wake and tells the story of one man's fight with himself, and against the oppression of the Normans, led by William the Conqueror. This pacy, sometimes tragic, often humourous, semi-musical play has something to offer all but the very young.

The play covers a period of approximately sixteen years.
