Cranford
Cranford
Written by Elizabeth Gaskell and adapted by Martyn Coleman
Where every cup of tea tells a story…

Step into the quaint streets of Cranford, a nineteenth-century market town where the whispers of gossip are as frequent as the chime of the church bell. Join us as we bring to life the charming and eccentric characters of Elizabeth Gaskell’s beloved novel and the celebrated BBC TV series, adapted for the stage by Martyn Coleman.
Experience the trials and triumphs of Miss Matty and her companions, as they navigate through a world where social etiquette and tea-drinking are the pillars of daily life. Yet, beneath the genteel surface, Cranford hides tales of financial woes, unexpected romance, and the heart-warming resilience of its residents.
