Northern Broadsides
Leopold Lewis's The Bells
Wed 10 November - Sat 13 November
This event has passed.
A chilling tale of murder, remorse and retribution, one of the great nineteenth century melodramas, made famous by the legendary Sir Henry Irving.
Deep in the snowbound mountains of remote Alsace, a savage murder remains unsolved.
The assassin, Mathias, is now rich and respected – but consumed by conscience. Suspended between sanity and terror, nightmarish visions conjured from the depths of his mind, administer justice.
The Bells has overwhelmed audiences with its sheer passion and tragic force and now Northern Broadsides bring their trademark raw energy and searing clarity to this celebrated gothic drama in a production promising spellbinding music and theatrical power.
