The York Realist
About
SEASON EXTENDED!!! EXTRA DATES ADDED - Sunday 23rd @2pm and Thursday 27th & Saturday 29th @ 7.30pmA beautiful, heart-breaking love story by Peter Gill, one of the most important and influential writers of the last 30 years.
Directed by Barry Park.
George, a farm labourer in 1960s Yorkshire, is cast in an amateur staging of the York Mystery plays. His world is shaken when he falls for the metropolitan assistant director, John.
Will George have the courage to leave his conservative rural roots and move to London for love?
A finely drawn, heart-rending love story, Gill's influential play is a touching reflection on the depths of class allegiances, the strength of the family, and the tension between country life and the cosmopolitan city before the '60s really began to swing.
This show contains some strong language and adult themes.
