Tim wrote and
directed a 20 minute DVD on location in Hardy’s cottage,
the birthplace of Thomas Hardy. The DVD was commissioned by

makers.
The
Withered Arm
Tim worked with
Pippa Brindley and the Museum Makers group at Dorset County
Museum to devise a new play based on Thomas Hardy’s short
story The Withered Arm. A cast of 18 actors, performers and
carers worked on Monday mornings for several months to
produce an hour long play with music, human and shadow
puppetry, dance and audience participation.
