Mrs Gaskell's Cranford is a masterpiece in miniature. One of the best loved books in the English language, it is set in a small market town in the nineteenth century and tells the story of Miss Matty Jenkins and her friends; ladies of a certain position in society. Their adventures from burglars and bankruptcy to marriage and magic are presented with a beguiling mixture of humour, pathos and astute social comment.| 15 Feb 01 | The Maltings Theatre (formely Maltings Arts Centre) St Albans, Hertfordshire Performance Details => Venue archive |
