Full casting has been announced for BRIEF ENCOUNTER, a new production of Emma Rice’s stage adaptation of Noël Coward’s epic love story, based on the critically acclaimed 1945 film, that will play at The Watermill from Thursday 14 October – Saturday 13 November.

In 1941 two leading physicists secretly met in Nazi-occupied Denmark to discuss the race between Hitler and the allies to create the nuclear bomb. These men were Werner Heisenberg, a German working on Hitler's bomb programme, and his old mentor Niels Bohr, a half-Jewish Dane with links to the United States’ nuclear programme. First seen in 1998, Michael Frayn’s fascinating but ultimately frustrating play, Copenhagen, explores several possibilities of what may have happened between the men.

Among the shows he directed there were “Oslo,” “Admissions,” “The Humans,” 'Heisenberg,” “Constellations,” “The Winslow Boy,” “Brighton Beach Memoirs,” “Red,” “The Diary of Anne Frank,” “Frost/Nixon,” “The History Boys,” “The Pillowman,” “Humble Boy,” “Pirandello's Henry IV,” “The Retreat From Moscow,” “The Crucible,” and more.

Tickets are on sale for most shows now. Learn more about the full lineup and how to attend here!
