Lighthouse Theatre (Wales) presents

Still Life

by Noel Coward

Lighthouse Theatre, a professional Welsh touring company with Cork connections, brings its trade-mark style to this classic piece about a chance meeting at a railway station tea shop by the Old Master, Noel Coward.

Still Life, is the one act play which became the classic black and white 1940s film Brief Encounter. It tells the story of Alec and Laura – a pleasant, upstanding middle-aged couple both happily married, but facing the turmoil of a doomed love affair. Set entirely within a railway tea room, Lighthouse Theatre’s inventive adaptation features three multiple role-playing actors as the contrasting couples and supporting characters, accompanied by the unforgettable strains of Rachmaninov’s second piano concerto.

The show began life as a co-production with North Country Theatre, touring the tea rooms and ticket halls of the Carlisle To Settle steam railway line. From there it has visited venues throughout Yorkshire and Wales, and as far afield as Uruguay and Argentina.

Still Life is a self-contained piece that lasts about 50 minutes without an interval.
