Event Information
Will history come full circle? Or can one generation learn from their parents’ mistakes?
Jane Asher (Alfie, Deep End) plays Lady Kitty, a society beauty who notoriously abandoned her stuffy husband Clive (Clive Francis, The Crown), and eloped with the handsome Lord Porteous (Nicholas Le Prevost, Shakespeare in Love, Testament of Youth).
Thirty years later, love’s young dream has descended into non-stop squabbling... Meanwhile Clive and Lady Kitty’s son Arnold (Pete Ashmore, The Lovely Bones) faces the same marital fate, as his wife Elizabeth played by Olivia Vinall (King Lear, Othello, National Theatre) threatens to elope with the dashing Teddie Luton.
Somerset Maugham’s sparky comedy was first staged in 1921 and has remained a firm favourite with audiences ever since.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “An exceptional cast. Thrilling to watch. A comic treat” WhatsOnStage
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Tom Littler’s deft production of Maugham’s play is consistently candid and surprising. Strongly acted” Guardian
