The Farmer’s Wife

The Production

A new play by Hannah Khalil. Inspired by the memoir by Helen Rebanks. Inspired by Helen Rebanks’ Sunday Times best-selling memoir and shaped by the voices of women in farming across Cumbria, this new play captures both the beauty and the weight of a life rooted in the land. By turns honest, moving and surprising, The Farmer’s Wife is a story of resilience and community in a changing world.
