Otherwise Engaged

In Otherwise Engaged, witty, urbane, sophisticated and selfish, publisher Simon Hench is a man of taste and discretion, who is accustomed to keeping himself at a graceful distance from the messy distractions of his family and friends. He has a problem, though — well, several actually — only he just doesn’t know it yet.

Settling in for an evening with his new recording of Wagner’s Parsifal, Simon is besieged by a deluge of unwelcome visitors, and his usually cool demeanour begins to buckle as life finally catches up with him.

Internationally acclaimed actor Richard E. Grant and one of the UK’s greatest playwrights, Simon Gray join forces in this award winning play.
