Tom Jones

THAME PLAYERS PRESENT
TOM JONES by Joan MacAlpine, based on the novels of Henry Fielding.
Before Bridgerton, there was Tom Jones, a rich, ripe, rowdy, bawdy romp—a comedy set in the mid-eighteenth century.   ‘The story of a man who was young, foolish, and not so much a sinner as a man much beset by women.’ And the trouble it causes could cost him his life!  Tom Jones has been a movie, a musical, several TV series, and a much-performed play.  Based on the 18th-century novels of Henry Fielding and adapted for the stage by Joan MacAlpine, Tom Jones is a story of honesty versus lies, love versus lust, virtue versus treacherous hypocrisy, and the class and manners of the era.  It is a story about human nature, and it's a lot of fun.
Tickets £8 to £12
