★★★★★ ‘A masterpiece - extraordinarily profound and yet playful drama’ - The Guardian



The five-star sold out production of The Years transfers to the West End for 12 weeks only.



Based on Nobel Prize winner Annie Ernaux’s fearless masterpiece, five actors create an unapologetic portrait of a woman shaped by her rapidly-changing world.



Memory never stops. It pairs the dead with the living, real with imaginary beings, dreams with history.



She strikes a pose and the camera shutter clicks: A child playing in the debris of the Second World War. Click. A student discovering parties and men’s bodies. Click. An activist fighting for the right to choose. Click. A wife picking out a velvet sofa. Click. A mother taking her eldest to judo. Click. A lover seducing a younger man. Click. A grandmother presenting her granddaughter to the camera. Click.



Deborah Findlay, Romola Garai, Gina McKee, Anjli Mohindra and Harmony Rose-Bremner give ‘extraordinary performances’ (The Observer) in Eline Arbo’s inventive adaptation, following sold out runs at the Almeida Theatre and International Theatre Amsterdam.



Coming to the West End for a strictly limited 12 week run beginning January 2025. Romola Garai will be in performances of The Years through Saturday 8 March. Further casting to be announced at a later date.



★★★★★ ‘A unique, profoundly moving experience. It moved me in ways theatre often tries to but rarely achieves’ The Independent
