T.S. Eliot said that Barbara of the House of Grebe “would seem to have been written solely to provide a satisfaction for some morbid emotion”. Looking back on this production, I’m rather inclined to agree. When you think about why this story was written, or what message it’s trying to convey, it may be simply to scratch some dark and murky itch. See how far you can go, kind of thing.
In short, the ending of this story is pretty dark. Just a heads up.
And now, Barbara of the House of Grebe, Part 2 of 2, by Thomas Hardy.
