Multiple award winners Siân Phillips, Nathaniel Parker and Lolita Chakrabarti lead an ensemble cast directed by James Dacre performing Terence Rattigan’s most personal one act masterpieces Table Number Seven (from Separate Tables) and The Browning Version, which are paired for the first time to capture one quietly momentous evening seventy years ago. Together, they present Rattigan as one of the great twentieth century chroniclers of the paradoxes of the human heart.

Completing the cast are Alexandra Dowling, Angela Jones, Jeremy Neumark Jones, Simon Coates, Richenda Carey, Kishore Walker, Pamela Miles, Fiona Tong, Rosalind Lailey and Bertie Hawes.

This unique tribute to Terence Rattigan will be staged at Theatre Royal Bath from 24 October to 2 November 2024 (Press Night 30 October) followed by a UK national tour stopping at Malvern Theatre (5 – 9 Nov 2024), Cambridge Arts Theatre (12 – 16 Nov 2024), Chichester Festival Theatre (21 – 25 Jan 2025), Richmond Theatre (27 Jan – 1 Feb 2025), Cheltenham Everyman Theatre (3 – 8 Feb 2025) and Oxford Playhouse (11 – 15 Feb 2025).

       

Summer, 1954. 

The atmosphere at The Beauregard Private Hotel, Bournemouth, is marked by a blend of repressed emotions and post-war gentility. Each of the staff and guests has their own reason for seeking the solace of quiet anonymity, but trying to hide from the social and cultural change sweeping over the country is proving impossible.

Meanwhile, in the heart of the Midlands, the end of the school term brings to a climax the intrigues, deceptions and lies in the lives of its teachers. The ensuing implosion of classicist Andrew Crocker Harris’s career triggers the collapse of his marriage. 

Britain is changing. Nothing will ever be the same again. 

The Creative Team includes Director James Dacre, Set and Costume Designer Mike Britton Lighting Designer Charles Balfour, Composer Valgeir Sigurðsson, Sound Designer Bella Kear, Associate Director Sarah Stacey and Movement Director Arielle Smith, with casting by Ginny Schiller CDG.

SUMMER 1954 is produced by Theatre Royal Bath Productions and Living Theatre Productions.
