A Wedding Story by Bryony Lavery at Tristan Bates in Feb

The Plays The Thing presents A Wedding Story by Bryony Lavery, at the Tristan Bates Theatre, a 60-seat fringe venue in Covent Garden, from 17 to 22 Feb 2014.

Directed by Rosemary Hill, designed by Kevin Jenkins, lighting by James Tearle.

Peter and Evelyn appear to have had a blissfully happy marriage, but Evelyn's decline pushes Peter to the brink. Robin, their son doesn't feel able to cope, and translates everything into a film scenario and Sally their lesbian daughter sees all relationships as a sacrifice and a curtailing of freedom. When she meets Grace at a wedding she just wants a fling, but Grace wants commitment and love.

A Wedding Story is interspersed with excerpts from the film 'Casablanca'.
