The Common Pursuit

James Dreyfus, Nigel Harman, Reece Shearsmith, Robert Portal, Ben Caplan, and Mary Stockley star in a major new revival of Simon Gray’s 1984 comedy The Common Pursuit. The production is directed by Fiona Laird.

A study in how friendships evolve and outlast their original form, Gray’s play charts the progress of a group of Cambridge undergraduates who launch a literary publication, but find it hard to stay true to the ideals of their youth in the world beyond.
