Be transported back in a time capsule to the 1940s. Before the show even begins members of the theatre company dressed in period usher and usherette costumes wield hefty torches and guide you to your seat. In the interval, tea and cucumber sandwiches are served and there are spoof adverts on screen for imaginary products such as "La-di-dah's Lard" and "Chicory Dickery Dot".
Based on David Lean's iconic 1945 movie and Noel Cowards one-act play, Still Life, Brief Encounter is an inventive and moving multi media show. In a tale of doomed love, Laura, the respectable suburban wife, and Alec, the idealistic, married doctor, meet in a station buffet and fall passionately in love. High drama ensues played out by top class actors who create complex, believable characters you will fall in love with.
