Pinocchio

Stratford East

Under the Greenwood Tree is a pastoral tale by Thomas Hardy set in the Dorset village of Mellstock in the 1800s. The story focuses on the romance between Dick Dewy, a handsome but poor young villager, two richer, rival suitors and Fancy Day, the entrancing new schoolmistress, recently arrived in the village.

Bryanston School

Set in early 20th-century Japan, the story tells of Ciòciò-san, a very young geisha, and Lieutenant Pinkerton, a U.S. Naval officer entranced by her beauty. Pinkerton will do anything to have her and takes part in a marriage ceremony but, inevitably, he returns to America. Butterfly never loses faith that one day her love will return, and she raises their child alone, rejecting other suitors. Three years later, Pinkerton does reappear but, devastatingly, with an American wife.
