“A Beautiful Thread” is a tribute to Thomas Hardy, performed at Lighthouse Poole on June 25, coinciding with Hardy’s 186th birthday. The show, featuring Anton Lesser as Hardy, combines dramatic readings with live music in a unique format. Adapted by Deirdre Shields, it includes Hardy’s poetry and letters, showcasing characters from his life and literary colleagues. Music, curated by David Le Page, varies from classical to folk styles. Lesser describes the experience as enjoyable and emotionally impactful due to the interplay of music and words. Tickets and details are available on the Lighthouse Poole website.
