Hello/Goodbye
By Peter Souter
Directed by Tamara Harvey

TONIGHT, 21 January - 29 February 2015
Press Night: Tuesday 27 January at 7pm

Following a sellout run Downstairs last year, Hampstead Theatre is proud to bring Peter Souter's chic comedy, directed by Tamara Harvey to the Main Stage. Starring Shaun Evans and Miranda Raison, Hello/Goodbye is a modern metropolitan guide to falling in (and out of) love.

It's a new year and Juliet, young, smart, and sassy, has got herself a fresh start in a new flat. But amidst the boxes, there's a strange guy and he is also moving in. He says her agency has messed up and her flat is actually his flat - and he's not leaving. And the real problem is that, well, he's rather gorgeous...

Leading the cast are Shaun Evans and Miranda Raison.

Shaun Evans is perhaps best known for playing the young Morse in Endeavour. He has also been seen in The Last Weekend, Silk, Whitechapel, Come Rain Come Shine andAshes to Ashes. Theatre credits include Miss Julie/Black Comedy (Chichester Festival Theatre), Kurt and Sid (West End) and Blue/Orange (Sheffield). His films include War Book, and Boy 'A.

Miranda Raison was last on stage in Strangers on a Train (Gielgud, West End). Other stage roles include River (Royal Court), The Physicists (Donmar) and the lead in Anne Boleyn (Globe). Her films include After Death, I am Soldier and My Week with Marilyn, and on TV Live Another Day, Silk and as Isolde in Merlin.

Hello/Goodbye is writer Peter Souter's first stage play. He has written for television the series Married, Single, Other and several popular BBC Radio4 plays includingGoldfish Girl and Puddle. He co-wrote the first episode for the 10 Minute Tales, Deep & Crisp & Even starring Timothy Spall and Natascha McElhone.

Tamara Harvey returns to Hampstead Theatre to bring Hello/Goodbye to the Main Stage. She is currently directing Elephants at Hampstead Downstairs, where she also directed Simon Gray's quartet In The Vale of Health which also made the journey upstairs to the Main Stage. Her numerous theatre credits include From Here to Eternity(West End), Educating Rita (Menier Chocolate Factory / UK Tour) and Whipping It Up (West End).

Hampstead's Artistic Director, Edward Hall said: 'At Hampstead, we believe in accessible theatre - Access for All. Already Hampstead Downstairs allows anyone to see new plays from £5 - £12 and we've worked hard to keep our main stage live-stream offerings free so as many people as possible across the world have access to our productions. We're delighted to announce that from January we will be selling tickets from £10 for under 30s on our Main Stage. These are accessible for any and every performance on the Main Stage. There are a limited number so we advise advanced booking. We look forward to making Hampstead Theatre even more accessible to young people.'
