After a sold-out debut concert at the Kraine Theater, Tess, A New Musical comes to 54 Below! Adapted from Thomas Hardy’s classic novel Tess of the D’Urbervilles, this folk-infused rock musical follows Tess Durbeyfield through a journey of burden, tragedy, and resilience in 19th century rural England. As she struggles to support her family financially and recover from the trauma of a sexual assault, Tess finds solace in her community of female friends. When she is forced to marry her abuser, an emboldened Tess takes her fate into her own hands to escape by any means necessary. With book, music, and lyrics by Annie Mullee, this tale of injustice and empowerment is sure to spark conversations while satisfying your ears with a gorgeous folk-rock score. Fans of Spring Awakening, Jane Eyre, or Hadestown will enjoy the spirit and sound of Tess, A New Musical!
