'The writing is brilliant. Alison Steadman and David Troughton...masterful comic performances' Sunday Times. 'Cryingly funny. Christopher Luscombe's pitch-perfect revival. Blissfully funny jokes. Alison Steadman...wonderfully funny. Beautifully acted' Daily Telegraph. Alison Steadman and David Troughton star in Alan Bennett's Enjoy, a rarely-performed gem by one of theatre's greatest observers of the English way of life.
Written in 1980, Alan Bennett set this dark comedy in his home town of Leeds where an ageing couple are living in the city's last back-to-back. With the demolition of the area in progress, Wilf and Connie are soon to be re-housed in a brand new maisonette with a waste disposal unit and non-slip vinyl flooring! When a sociologist comes to observe them in their daily life, normality takes a decidedly atypical turn...
With its cast of fifteen extraordinary characters and a stunning visual denouement, Enjoy is an absolute theatrical treat.
Alan Bennett has been a household name for more than forty years. His numerous plays include The History Boys, one of the biggest theatrical sensations of recent years, Habeas Corpus, Forty Years On, Single Spies, The Madness of George III, Talking Heads and The Lady in the Van. |
