Francesca Annis cast in Time and the Conways

Francesca Annis cast in Time and the Conways, along with Adrian Scarborough, which opens at the Lyttelton, NT 5 May 2009, following previews from 28 April, booking to 28 May 2009.

It is directed by Rupert Goold, designed by Laura Hopkins, lighting by Mark Henderson, sound by Adam Cork.

The Conways, celebrating Kay's 21st birthday in 1919, seem a golden family - safe and well after the Great War, looking forward to future careers, marriages, and a brave new world. Through J B Priestley's masterly manipulation of time, we see into their future and back again to where the seeds of their downfall were planted. Priestley was fascinated by the study of time. Writing in 1937, he saw how Britain was complacently failing to learn from history and charging headlong towards another conflagration.
