A Rake's Progress Strangeface Catmose College Oakham Rutland

A Rake's Progress Strangeface Catmose College Oakham Rutland

A Rake's progress is the wild and astonishing
tale of Tom Rakewell. Possessed of his dead
father's fortune, Tom forsakes the country life
and embarks on a riotous journey through
18th century London. Funny and moving in
equal measure, this highly original production
is a cautionary tale of youthful abandon,
supernatural interventions and a strange
redemption.

Rousing songs, eccentric masks and
rumbustious puppets, make for an extraordinary
evening, loosely based on the satirical etchings
of William Hogarth, whose visual observations
on everyday life 300 years ago are still as true
today.
