The Cocktail Hour

An intimate, immersive experience, inspired by the ‘lunchtime theatre’ tradition of ’70s and ’80s Soho. The candlelit restaurant is both auditorium and stage. Dinner is served… and on a neighbouring table, Emma and Paul (played by Sue Womersly and Phil Dennison) are on a date. As Bell puts it, “Their deep-seated fears and resentments are about to spill out all over the dinner table. You are compelled to eavesdrop as this flawed relationship becomes like a slow-motion car crash. Paul has come to a decision… Emma makes a breakthrough.”

This event takes place at Th Talleyrand, 1030 Stockport Road, Levenshulme, Manchester M19 3WX
