about
TESS
TESS is a new musical adaptation of Tess of the D’Urbervilles, following the story of Tess Durbeyfield as she struggles to financially support her family and recover from the trauma of a sexual assault. Writer and composer Annie Mullee reframes the story to center on the community of women and highlights the injustices experienced by those escaping abuse. This is an all-too-resonant story of one woman’s struggle to take the fate of her work, her body and her life back into her own hands.
