As part of the Finborough Theatre's celebrations of Canada's 150th birthday, Canadian playwright Jordan Tannahill, "the hottest name in Canadian theatre," debuts his play, Late Company, at the Finborough Theatre, for a strictly limited season now through 20 May 2017, with press nights on 27 & 28 April. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
The full cast for Late Company are: Todd Boyce (Michael), David Leopold (Curtis), Alex Lowe (Bill), Lucy Robinson (Debora) and Lisa Stevenson (Tamara). This production will be directed by Michael Yale, with set and costumes by Zahra Mansouri, lighting by Nic Farman and sound by Chris Prosho.
One year after a terrible tragedy; 2 sets of parents, one dead son, one living son. Who is to blame? A suburban dinner party for closure after 17 year-old Joel commits suicide. The guests; his heartbroken mother and father, his so-called tormentor Curtis, and his parents. Far from finding the peace they seek, the dinner strips bare their good intentions to reveal layers of parental, sexual, and political hypocrisy.
Written with sensitivity and humour, Late Company explores restorative justice, cyber bullying, and the ever-changing complexities of parenthood in the 21st century.
Finborough Theatre is located at 118 Finborough Road, London, SW10 9ED. For tickets and more information, contact the Box Office at 0844 847 1652 or go online at www.finboroughtheatre.co.uk.
