“Scenes of Clerical Life” by George Eliot:

As part of the world-wide celebrations of the bicentenary of the great novelist’s birth, and thanks to a unique cooperation of the VHS Düsseldorf, the English Speakers‘ Circle, the George Eliot Fellowship (UK) and our theatre group, an entertaining evening of dramatised readings of selected extracts from George Eliot’s first published and ground-breaking fiction, ‘Scenes of Clerical Life’ (1857) was organised at the sold-out VHS Düsseldorf.

Introductions by English writer Bob Muscutt placed each extract in context in the respective story, and provided interesting background knowledge on George Eliot’s life.

Cast: Andrew Charlwood, Margot Erblöh, Susanne Monnerjahn, Phil New, Trish Osmond
