Synopsis

Brief Encounter by Noel Coward and Emma Rice

Imagine you are desperately in love. But with the wrong person.

Laura, a respectable suburban wife, and Alec, an idealistic, married doctor, meet at a train station and fall passionately in love, but their romance is doomed from the start.

David Lean’s iconic 1945 movie, Brief Encounter, was written by Noël Coward and based on his one-act play, Still Life - which was performed by ATG in 2013. This timeless tale of joy and heartache has been adapted for the stage by Emma Rice and is interspersed with Noel Coward songs, we're sure you'll love it!
