David Roger’s stage adaptation of the memorable Henry Felding (1707-154) novel is a comedy of high spirits and robust theatricality. Fielding’s Tom Jones, the most famous foundling in literary history, is the ward of Squire Allworthy of Somersetshire. Tom is deeply in love with Sophia Western, and she with him, but her father has arranged to marry her to the Squire’s squeaky nephew, (and heir), Blifil. The innocent romance of Tom and Sophia is discovered, Tom is banished from Somersetshire, and Sophia, with her maid Honor, sets out to find him. They are followed by Sophia’s father, his sister, Squire Allworthy and Blifil. All of them encounter a wild assortment of characters and adventures on the road from Somersetshire to London, with an amusing and unexpected conclusion that happily reunites Tom and his beloved Sophia.
