Bennett’s Enjoy off to West End???
September 1, 2008
Today sees the return of Alan Bennett’s work to the region in the guise of Enjoy, starring Alison Steadman at the Lowry. This hit show plays for one week only, on the back of some brilliant reviews. But catch it while you can in Salford, as it is tipped to go to the West End with the Comedy Theatre being cited as a possible venue.
This rarely-performed gem, written in 1980, is set in Bennett’s home town of Leeds where an ageing couple are living in the city’s last back-to-back. With the demolition of the area in progress, Wilf and Connie are soon to be re-housed in a brand new maisonette with a waste disposal unit and non-slip vinyl flooring! When a sociologist comes to observe them in their daily life, normality takes a decidedly atypical turn…
With prices set to rise once it hits the big smoke, it is worth seeing it here at the Quays!
