The Farmer’s Wife

7.30pm; with 2pm matinees on selected datesWelcome to the farm. In The Farmer’s Wife, one day holds a lifetime. Three generations of women from the same family – a daughter, a mother and a grandmother – share a kitchen, their stories overlapping as the past and present sit side by side. The animals need feeding. The bills need paying. The forms need filling in. The meals need cooking. The vet needs calling. The list never ends. At the centre of it all is one woman, holding everything together and beginning to wonder how much longer she can. Inspired by Helen Rebanks’ Sunday Times best-selling memoir and shaped by the voices of women in farming across Cumbria, this new play captures both the beauty and the weight of a life rooted in the land. By turns honest, moving and surprising, The Farmer’s Wife is a story of resilience and community in a changing world. _________________________________________________ Fans of thoughtful and emotionally rich productions such as Lark Rise to Candleford and Nell Gwynn will find much to connect with in The Farmer’s Wife, inspired by Helen Rebanks’ acclaimed memoir. The play brings a deeply personal and authentic rural story to the stage, exploring the unseen emotional labour, strength and endurance behind farming life in Cumbria and beyond. Looking for more theatre in Keswick? Discover the full Theatre by the Lake programme, featuring classic drama, contemporary storytelling, family productions and new writing throughout the year.
