Audiences in Plymouth will have a unique opportunity to watch a drama unfold in their own homes, when Theatre Royal Plymouth brings the play Henry & Elizabeth to the city.
There will be just six performances of the gentle and captivating comedy at the homes of six lucky people randomly selected from those that apply.
When hapless Henry is defeated by a simple repair job, and long-suffering Elizabeth finally snaps, it seems as though it might jeopardise their whole relationship.
But are they really trapped in an endless circle of co-dependence and tit-for-tat niggling? Or can they find their way out of the loop to a happier and more magical future together?
A classic tale of love gone wonky, Henry & Elizabeth is a new co-production from home-performance pioneers Signal to Noise and Northampton’s Royal & Derngate.
Each night of the week the play can be performed in a different house, for an audience of up to 12 people. With minimal preparation the actors will turn up at someone’s home and perform.
As with the company’s previous domestic pieces, such as the acclaimed Homemade and At Home, some elements of the performance are improvised around each particular home venue and its contents.
Written and directed by Chris Goode, Henry & Elizabeth runs from July 27 to 31. For more information or to book tickets, call 01752 230447 or see the Theatre Royal Plymouth website.
