Donmar Warehouse in a co-production with the National Theatre of Scotland
David Anderton, an Oxford-educated Catholic priest, is assigned to a parish in a dispirited Scottish town on the Ayrshire coast. Lonely and adrift he befriends two unstable teenagers from the local school and is drawn into their exotic world. As events spin out of control he is forced to face his greatest trial yet.
Adapted for the stage by Ian McDiarmid from The Booker Prize nominated novel by Andrew O’Hagan, BE NEAR ME is a compelling story about love, morality and regret.
