Two's Company have a revived a host of intriguing 20th century lost plays, including 'The Cutting of the Cloth' (2015) and 'The Fifth Column' (2016). Now, they're back at Southwark Playhouse with a '50s comedy about a harassed diplomat who returns to his Dorset family home. But his mother won't stop pestering him to get married, and he can't leave the outside world behind.
In his day, NC Hunter was apparently compared to Chekhov for his wry social insights. 'A Day by the Sea' hopes to restore his reputation to sit alongside that of Terence Rattigan and Noel Coward. Tricia Thoms directs.
