Set during the mid-16th century, Arden of Faversham illustrates the tale of Thomas Arden who was murdered by his wife and her lover. In the adaption Arden v Arden, written and directed by the founding member and artistic director of The Hayloft Project Benedict Hardie (Yuri Wells, The Seizure, The Nurse), the play is essentially split in half; one half set during contemporary Australian times and other in the classical period of the original text.
