The Trumpet Major Online PDF Print E-mail
Written by Peter Cooper

The script of Peter John Cooper's adaptation of Thomas Hardy's novel is now available online from Lazybee Scripts.  The Trumpet Major tells of a love triangle set at the height of the Napoleonic Wars when Dorset was in turmoil at the possibility of a French invasion.  Peter's adaptation is true to the novel and the action ranges from broad farce to heart-breaking sadness.  The play was originally commissioned by the Oxfordshre Theatre Co where Peter was first Artistic Director.  Peter's version of the play is available for amateur or professional production.
