19 April – 12 May

About the show: "Here is where everything happens. Here and now – in the space around us that we can see and touch. For Phil and Cath, in this one small studio flat, as they begin to construct their life together. For them the whole past history of the universe has led up to this moment, and its whole future history will be determined by what they decide together. Here. Now."

"But how to decide anything, when the other person keeps disagreeing? And when the woman downstairs keeps dumping the left-over remains of her own life on you...?"

Making her Rose Theatre debut Alison Steadman recently enjoyed a West End run in Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit as the improbable clairvoyant Madame Arcati. Also on stage she created the role of the monstrous Beverly in Mike Leigh's Abigail's Party and starred in The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, for which she won an Olivier Award. Her films include 'Shirley Valentine' and Mike Leigh's 'Life Is Sweet' and 'Topsy Turvy'. Television work includes 'Fat Friends', 'The Singing Detective', 'Pride and Prejudice' and Pam in 'Gavin & Stacey'.

Here is directed by Lisa Spirling, whose recent directing credits include Hundreds and Thousands (Buckle for Dust at Soho Theatre Upstairs), Terminal Four Play (Theatre503, Latitude Festival), Cotton Wool (Buckle for Dust at Theatre503, Meyer-Whitworth Award Winner), and Idiots of Ants (Pleasance, Edinburgh and on tour).

Set and costume is by Polly Sullivan.
