The Pride - Alexi Kaye Campbell’s heart-felt landmark play about
courage, compassion and the fear of loneliness in life’s journey towards
self-discovery. A hard-hitting dark comedy with a bitter sweet heart.
Philip, Oliver and Sylvia exist in a complex love triangle, which
spans over half a century, living and loving simultaneously in 1958 and
the present against a background of changing attitudes towards
homosexuality. The Pride makes its West End transfer after a limited multi award-winning run Upstairs at the Royal Court in 2008. A brilliant play with high points, low points and everything in between.
Starring Hayley Atwell (Captain America, Life of Crime, The Faith Machine, A View from the Bridge) as Sylvia, Harry Hadden-Paton (Posh, She Stoops to Conquer, Flare Path) as Philip, Al Weaver (Inadmissible Evidence, Coram Boy, Hamlet) as Oliver and Mathew Horne (Gavin and Stacey, Bad Education, Charley's Aunt) as The Man/Peter/The Doctor.
10 out of 10!
