Two miniature comedic masterpieces from the 1960s, The Lover and The Collection, which explore secrets, lies and seduction. These shows are directed by Jamie Lloyd.
Playful and provocative, The Lover features a conventional, suburban couple in unconventional circumstances. The Collection, hailed as one of the outstanding plays of the 20th Century by Laurence Olivier, delves into the intriguing mystery of two London couples linked by sexual desire and a quest for supremacy.
Cast includes David Suchet, Hayley Squires, Russel Tovey and John MacMillan.
