WIN Tickets for The Habit Of Art

THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED.

ABOUT THIS OFFER:
WIN one pair of tickets to see Alan Bennett‘s The Habit Of Art at the Lowry and a signed copy of his book The Uncommon Reader.

ABOUT THE PLAY:

THE HABIT OFART

Following rave reviews and sell-out success, Alan Bennett’s new play The Habit of Art makes its North West debut at The Lowry (Tue 5 – Sat 9 Oct).

Benjamin Britten, sailing uncomfortably close to the wind with his new opera, Death in Venice, seeks advice from his former collaborator and friend, W H Auden. During this imagined meeting, their first for twenty-five years, they are observed and interrupted by, amongst others, their future biographer and a young man from the local bus station.

Alan Bennett’s new play is as much about the theatre as it is about poetry or music. It looks at the unsettling desires of two difficult men, and at the ethics of biography. It reflects on growing old, on creativity and inspiration, and on persisting when all passion’s spent: ultimately, on the habit of art.

The Habit Of Art is Alan Bennett’s fifth play for the National Theatre. His last play, The History Boys, opened at the Lyttelton in 2004, toured nationally and internationally, and played for two seasons in the West End and on Broadway. Among its many awards were the Laurence Olivier, Tony and Critics Circle Awards for Best Play, and the South Bank Show Award for Theatre. And we have one pair of tickets for opening night and a signed book up for grabs!
