'A Separate Peace' by Tom Stoppard

The Guardian ★★★★★ ‘If, for however long, this is live theatre’s future, then it works triumphantly’

This is no ordinary script in hand reading - this performance has a full creative and production team behind it, and is directed by award-winning film and theatre director Sam Yates.

A new frontier for live theatre, creating new digital versions of traditional stage jobs - this innovative project is the first of its' kind, developing a piece entirely remotely.

All profits from ticket sales were split between a donation to The Felix Project, and the creatives and technicians forced out of work by the Covid-19 pandemic.
