Guthrie's WorldStage Series presents
Kneehigh Theatre’s production of
Noël Coward’s
Brief Encounter
originally produced by David Pugh & Dafydd Rogers and Cineworld
adapted and directed by Emma Rice
EXTENDED BY POPULAR DEMAND THROUGH APRIL 10!
In this must-see limited engagement direct from sold-out performances in London, San Francisco and New York, England's acclaimed Kneehigh Theatre transforms Noël Coward's iconic love story into a jaw-dropping fusion of theater, film and song. Forbidden passion brews in a 1938 railway station tearoom as a suburban housewife, over a series of stolen afternoons, falls madly in love with a married doctor. This groundbreaking theatrical event - ingeniously crafted with whimsical humor, dreamy romance and stunning multimedia effects - was hailed as "a first-class return to romance" (Daily Telegraph) and The New York Times said "Don't be ashamed if you, too, feel a bit like swooning." The San Francisco Chronicle raved "Every so often a theater piece comes to town that is so brilliantly conceived and executed, so entertaining on every level, that you want everyone you love or even like just a bit to see it. Brief Encounter is that kind of experience." Don't miss this runaway hit as it makes its final stop on an exclusive three-city U.S. tour!
