AN evening featuring two classic Victorian Tales — one industrial and one pastoral — will be presented by Raymond Sargent at Calstock Village Hall on Sunday.
The Signalman by Charles Dickens is about a wealthy industrialist who stumbles upon a lonely signalbox and befriends its solitary inhabitant. This leads to an uncanny conclusion in what is a masterpiece of the supernatural.
The Three Strangers by Thomas Hardy, tells the story of three seemingly unrelated strangers arriving at the christening party of a shepherd and his wife's second child. Who tells the truth and who does not in the strange relationship that develops between them?
Adapted and read by Raymond they are contrasting yet complementary masterpieces in their own right.
The performance begins at 7.30pm. Tickets: 01822 834418.
