About this event
One of 13 upcoming events at Museum of Riverside.
Share an evening under the stars as we screen the costume drama “Far from the Madding Crowd” (1967). This film version of Thomas Hardy’s classic 1874 Victorian-era novel with the same name is set in an idyllic rural setting. The serene place contrasts dramatically with a story of emotional tension, love, and betrayal. The story of one woman and three very different men who become part of her life reveals the demands and limits of Victorian social codes. With an all-star cast featuring Julie Christie, Terence Stamp, Peter Finch, and Alan Bates, Far from the Madding Crowd examines personalities and passions in nineteenth-century rural England. This FREE event will take place November 20. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and screening begins at 6:30 p.m. Concessions available at the Heritage House Snack Shack (CASH ONLY). Limited on site and street parking available.
