We're back in the world of ration books, blackouts and spam fritters, as Nicholas Wright delves into the home front via his adaptation of Patrick Hamilton's 1947 novel. Though there's a certain period chintz about Jonathan Kent's production, darker undercurrents make this a more complex proposition than it first appears.
Hampstead Theatre presents the world premiere of Nicholas Wright's The Slaves of Solitude, directed by Jonathan Kent. Adapted from Patrick Hamilton's much-loved story, this new play weaves a fascinating blend of dark hilarity and melancholy in a story about an improbable heroine in wartime Britain. The production begins previews tonight 20 October for an opening on Monday 30 October 2017, and BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the company in rehearsal below!
