TIME AND THE CONWAYS
by J B Priestley | Genre | Drama | | Previews from | 28 Apr 09 | | Opens | 5 May 09 | | Booking to | 28 May 09 | | Closes | | | Time | Click on Performance Schedule Link (near bottom of page) | | Tickets | | | Performers | Francesca Annis (Mrs Conway), Adrian Scarborough (Ernest Beevers) | | Director | Rupert Goold | | Design | Laura Hopkins | | Lighting | Mark Henderson | | Choreography | | | Costume | | | Sound | Adam Cork | | Producer | National Theatre | | Synopsis | The Conways, celebrating Kay's 21st birthday in 1919, seem a golden family - safe and well after the Great War, looking forward to future careers, marriages, and a brave new world. Through J B Priestley's masterly manipulation of time, we see into their future and back again to where the seeds of their downfall were planted. Priestley was fascinated by the study of time. Writing in 1937, he saw how Britain was complacently failing to learn from history and charging headlong towards another conflagration. | | B/O Price | £10 - £30 | | Length | | | Review | | | Other Info | | | Performance Schedule |
