Synopsis

Dramatized from the novel by R. D. Blackmore.

Exmoor's haunting beauty dominates this irresistible blend of romance and adventure that is R.D.

Blackmore's famous novel, here superbly adapted for the stage.

Spanning thirteen years, all the characters are present from the ruthless Doones to the peace-loving Ridds; from the highwayman Tom Faggus to Hanging Judge Jeffreys.

But the love of John Ridd for Lorna Doone remains firmly at the heart of the play.|Large flexible cast
