Vanity Fair

Theatre on the Main Lawn

Welcome to VANITY FAIR - a giddy carousel of social climbers, buffoons and preening dandies.

In a world of gossip and speculation, all is to play for and the stakes are perilously high - for romantic Amelia Sedley, consumed with her obsessive love and Becky Sharp, an irrepressible schemer who will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

Moving Parts Theatre Company take a fresh, inventive approach to the classics. With a dazzling score of original music, this new adaptation of Thackeray’s tale of greed, ambition, love and betrayal transports audiences from Regency salons and ballrooms to the battlefield of Waterloo!
