Farewell To The Theatre

Widely regarded as the man who laid the foundations of modern British theatre, Harley Granville-Barker was famed for his Shakespeare productions and wrote and produced ground-breaking new plays in the early twentieth century, most notably The Voysey Inheritance, Waste, and The Madras House.

Richard Nelson’s new play finds him embittered and world-weary in Massachusetts in 1916, with war raging in Europe, having fallen in with a group of British expatriates endeavouring to find their way in an academic, theatre obsessed community.
