Internationally acclaimed actor Richard E. Grant (Gosford Park, Withnail and I, The Scarlet Pimpernel) and one of the UK’s greatest playwrights Simon Gray (Quartermaine’s Terms, Butley, A Common Pursuit) join forces in this award-winning play.

Witty, urbane, sophisticated and selfish, publisher Simon Hench is a man of taste and discretion, who is accustomed to keeping himself at a graceful distance from the messy distractions of his family and friends. He has a problem though – well, several actually – only he just doesn’t know it yet. Settling in for an evening with his new recording of Wagner’s Parsifal, Simon is besieged by a deluge of unwelcome visitors, and his usually cool demeanour begins to buckle as life finally catches up with him.

Richard E. Grant leads an impressive cast in this vibrant, modern day comedy of manners. Wickedly sharp and thought provoking, this is the theatrical event of the year. Book now!

Contains one scene of partial nudity.
