The Past & I: A Pilgrimage to the heart of Thomas Hardy

In The Past & I: A Pilgrimage to the heart of Thomas Hardy, we follow Arthur Keegan (composer), Lotte Betts-Dean (mezzo-soprano) and James Girling (guitarist) on a emotional tour through the semi-fictional region of Wessex where Hardy's writing came to life. Culminating in a concert next to the poet's heart, the trio discovers a new meaning behind the work and the life of the novelist and poet.
