HEARTBREAK HOUSE by G.B Shaw
About
From Rhinoceros Theatre Company, who brought Shakespeare’s ‘KING LEAR’ to Hampton Hill Theatre last year in an acclaimed production, comes a staging of George Bernard Shaw’s most heartfelt, witty and piercingly satirical play: a tragicomedy of society folk perched on the precipice of life and death.World War I is looming in the skies above. A semi-mad retired sea captain presides over a family and guests bickering, flirting, anguishing and philosophising in the countdown to apocalypse.
Nigel Andrews (film critic emeritus of the Financial Times) presents his directorial debut and co-stars as Captain Shotover, with a talented cast.
