Enjoy

Enjoy is a rarely performed gem by one of the theatre’s greatest observers of the English way of life.

Written in 1980, Alan Bennett set this dark comedy in his home town of Leeds where an ageing couple are living in the city’s last back-to-back. With the demolition of the area in progress, Wilf and Connie are soon to be re-housed in a brand new maisonette with a waste disposal unit and non-slip vinyl flooring! When a sociologist comes to observe them in their daily life, normality takes a decidedly atypical turn…

With its cast of fifteen extraordinary characters and a stunning visual denoument, Enjoy promises to be an absolute theatrical treat.
