When We Are Married
by J.B. Priestley
About When We Are Married
"Hugely fun revival of J.B. Priestley’s gently subversive comedy"
"Note-perfect performances"
"This zesty revival is a joyful rediscovery"
“A hoot, a joyful reminder of the power of supreme comic acting”
"A very funny, finely formed play"
"I haven’t laughed so much at a play in a long time"
If you woke up tomorrow to find you weren’t married to us, you’d be in for a few big surprises.
Three couples, highly respected pillars of the Yorkshire community, gather to celebrate their joint silver wedding anniversaries. It's champagne toasts all round until their evening of pride and self-satisfaction is upended by an unexpected and deeply embarrassing revelation.
As scandal turns to farce, the couples are forced to confront long-buried truths, simmering resentments and the liberating possibility of starting over.
Artistic Director Tim Sheader leads a joyful revival of J.B. Priestley’s much-loved comedy.
