Stella Gibbons’ Cold Comfort Farm has found a place in the hearts of many devotees of the comic English novel, parodying as it does the romantic stories of D H Lawrence and Mary Webb. In Paul Doust’s hilarious stage play, the heroine, Flora Poste, embarks upon a quest to discover her family’s roots, and as a result the “nice girl from London” meets the rough and ready Starkadders of Cold Comfort Farm.
Who can fail to enjoy her meeting the likes of evil old Aunt Ada Doom, the fey Elfine and the smouldering Seth. Come with us into a world where there’s something nasty in the woodshed, where porridge pulsates with the latent lust of rural romance, and the Sukebind draws you ever closer into an intrigue that will keep you gripped and laughing in equal measure.
