Twighlight Song by Kevin Elyt @ Park Theatre (until 12 August)

Adam Garcia, Bryony Hannah and Paul Higgins star in the premiere of the final play by Kevin Elyot, writer of the classic comedy My Night with Reg. Set on summer evenings in the 1960s and the present day, Twilight Song traces one familys hidden liaisons over half a century. 2017. Barry is single, middle-aged and gay. He and his mother Isabellas relationship is fraught, yet after more than 50 years they cannot live apart. 1967. Barry is starting school, Isabella is pregnant again, and parliament passes a law of liberation. A mysterious stranger turns up in their past and their present - could he be the missing piece of the jigsaw they've both been yearning for? Hilarious, heartbreaking and full of surprises, Kevin Elyot's evocative final play proves how powerful our past can be in the present. The full cast comprises two-time Olivier nominee Adam Garcia (Kenneth Branaghs The Winters Tale), Bryony Hannah (Call the Midwife, The Childrens Hour), Paul Higgins (Line of Duty, The Thick of It), Philip Bretherton (As Time Goes By) and Hugh Ross (Jamie Lloyds Macbeth and director of Park Theatre hit The Roundabout). Anthony Banks was an Associate Director at the National Theatre for ten years and most recently directed Kara Tointon and Keith Allen in Gaslight (national tour). From the producer behind Park Theatre hits The Roundabout and An Audience with Jimmy Savile.
