Multi award-winning star of screen and stage Jonathan Pryce stars as 'Andrei', and three-time Olivier award-winning Dame Eileen Atkins stars as 'Madeleine' in The Height of the Storm, in the UK premiere of a new compelling family drama by Florian Zeller. Let's see whaat the critics had to say.

French playwright Florian Zeller returns, with another compelling puzzle box of a play - the only thing definite about it being the trademark definite article in the title. But anchoring the human side of this elliptical work is a pair of commanding performances from Eileen Atkins and Jonathan Pryce, ensuring engagement even as reality skips and blurs.

Multi award-winning star of screen and stage Jonathan Pryce will star as 'Andrei', and three-time Olivier award-winning Dame Eileen Atkins will star as 'Madeleine' in The Height of the Storm, in the UK premiere of a new compelling family drama by Florian Zeller, the internationally acclaimed writer of The Father.
