Description

Richard Bean's play "Harvest" explores a wager made by Lord Primrose Agar in 1875, which would have far-reaching consequences for the tenant farmer Orlando Harrison and his family. Thirteen years later, Agar revisits Harrison to settle the terms of their agreement. The story is set against the backdrop of Kilham Wold Farm near Driffiels in East Yorkshire, where the boundaries between land ownership and personal relationships are tested. Bean's play raises questions about the nature of power, loyalty, and the human condition. Through its complex characters and nuanced exploration of rural life, "Harvest" offers a thought-provoking drama that challenges readers to consider the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of our actions.
