Brief Encounter is an imaginative new work that combines elements of Noël Coward’s beloved screenplay, and the one act play on which it was based, with song, dance and Technicolor displays of emotion.
This breakout hit from London’s Kneehigh Theatre played a sold out run at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn,
NY and has also played critically acclaimed engagements at ACT and the Guthrie Theater.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Brief Encounter
Brief Encounter
9 / 10
The concept relies heavily on audio/visual elements which are ingeniously woven into the production. And when all is said and done what emerges is a beautifully touching piece of theatre. To compare it to the source would be a disservice since creator/director Emma Rice's staging is itself artfully original. What she’s achieved is something of a reconstruction of the Noel Coward work. Rice added songs written by the author, along with puppets, evocative choreography and a giant screen featuring filmed projections, all of which contribute yet another dimension to the story.
Brief Encounter
4 / 10
There's so much inventiveness in this import from Britain's Kneehigh Theatre that I feel like a grump having to report that the show itself is something of a disappointment.
