Heartbreak House at Hampton Hill Theatre

Nigel Andrews, former film critic of the Financial Times, returns to the London stage to present his directorial debut in George Bernard Shaw’s HEARTBREAK HOUSE, from 31st May to 3rd June at Hampton Hill Theatre.

G.B. Shaw’s most heartfelt, witty and piercingly satirical play - a tragicomedy of society folk perched on the precipice of life and death – is produced by Rhinoceros Theatre Company, who brought Shakespeare’s ‘KING LEAR’ to Hampton Hill Theatre in 2022.

World War I is looming in the skies above. A semi-mad retired sea captain presides over a family and guests bickering, flirting, anguishing and philosophising in the countdown to apocalypse.

Nigel Andrews (former film critic of the Financial Times) directs for the first time and co-stars with a talented cast led by Fiona Smith, Mia Skytte, Anastasia Drew and Oliver Tims.

A third of the ticket revenue will be donated to the Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal.
