After the Fair at Buck Creek Players

What happens when a married Victorian British woman writes letters for her illiterate maid and falls in love with the man to whom she is writing? A romantic, literate musicalization of Thomas Hardy's short story, 'On the Western Circuit,' this award-winning four-character musical has played Off-Broadway, London, and various cities throughout the USA.


"I would easily rank this superior score alongside the best work of Maury Yeston and very much in a similar vein as Stephen Sondheim's A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC. Cole's gift for writing elegant, sophisticated, romantic lyrics finds a perfect match in composer Matthew Ward's gorgeous music. "
- Joe Stead, Chicago Stage Standard
