The stage adaptation of Ali Smith's AUTUMN opened at the Park Theatre on Friday - starring Rebecca Banatvala as Elisabeth.
From Stage Debut Award nominated writer Harry McDonald (Foam, Finborough, Don’t Smoke in Bed, Vault Festival) and director Charlotte Vickers (Sap, Soho Theatre/UK Tour, Roundabout @ Summerhall, Andromeda, Camden People’s Theatre) comes an adaptation of Ali Smith’s Booker Prize-shortlisted novel. As the divides between people become ever starker, Autumn finds connections across time and experience, and resilience in the most unlikely of love stories.
Summer 2016. Britain has voted to leave the European Union, and low-paid art historian Elisabeth returns to the village she grew up in to read to the sleeping Daniel Gluck, her childhood next-door neighbour. The libraries are closed, new fences are being built, and no one will let Elisabeth renew her passport.
Meanwhile, Daniel dreams: of his long-lost little sister; of the twentieth century; of art, of poetry and music.
Playing until November 2nd, before playing at North Wall, Oxford.
