Oliver Taheri Productions and Fragile Ambition presents the world premiere of 'THE SPRING TIDE' by Carol Vine, directed by Graham Hubbard. This modern day love story of transformation and hope takes place in September at London's Old Red Lion Theatre in Islington.

The Spring Tide is written by upcoming playwright Carol Vine, whose credits include short films Rise and Irreparable and a one-woman show, Whore .

The play is directed by Graham Hubbard, Sweeney Todd and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and is produced by Oliver Taheri.

This deeply personal story centres around the character of Suzy and her unstinting love for Lan . A world without Lan in it would be unimaginable. But the strongest feelings are also the most dangerous, and Suzy is afraid. Instead of Lan, she opts for a life of safety, convincing herself over the years that this
is the right path.

But even as life's circumstances pull them apart, still they are drawn to one another by a deep and irresistible bond that is inevitable as the tide.

After years apart, Lan's final return shatters everything Suzy has made her own - a home, a husband, a son. As her world begins to unravel, Suzy must confront her fears and her desire. A decision must be made, whatever the cost.

Described as 'a coming of Middle Age' story The Spring Tide has a feminist heart - in that it insists its women achieve happiness in the face of adversity.

Press Night: Thursday 5th September at the Old Red Lion Theatre. The show opens today 3rd September and closes Saturday 21st September. Shows run Tuesday - Saturday 7:30pm; Saturday & Sunday 3:00pm Tickets £15 (£12 Concessions).
