Today sees the penultimate performance of Haunted at the Theatre Royal. Starring Brenda Blenthyn, Brit actress of the year and Golden Globe collector, the play comes to Brighton before its move to London's West End. Yes, it's somewhat up-market and costs appropriately.
Written specifically for Blenthyn, author Edna O'Brien is a leading figure of Irish Literature:
"An extraordinary play about love and betrayal, HAUNTED tells the story of a captivating young woman, Hazel (Beth Cooke), who enters the life of the quixotic Mr Berry (Niall Buggy). Desperate not to lose her, he starts secretly giving away his wife's clothes in exchange for elocution lessons. But as his wife, (Brenda Blethyn), searches for the reason for her diminishing wardrobe, Mr Berry finds both of his relationships under threat in this poignant and enchanting tale of desire and regret."
The cast sounds award-laded. With Blenthyn twice Oscar-nominated, holding a stream of Cannes Film Festival, Golden FIPA awards, and co-star Buggy heralding from roles in An inspector Call, After Play, The Weir, and assorted others, the play should be fantastic.
It's on at 7:45pm and costs £29.00. Find tickets and info here.
