HAMPSTEAD DOWNSTAIRS / CELIA ATKIN PRESENT

OUT OF SEASON

By NEIL D'SOUZA
Directed by ALICE HAMILTON

Running time: 2 hours including a 20 minute interval

So, here’s the plan: hit the beach, lunch alfresco, back by the afternoon, cocktails by the pool, dinner in the restaurant – which is excellent by the way – drugs, girls, half an hour’s kip, flight home!

Downstairs

16 Feb - 23 Mar 2024

Yes - the band is back in town!  Michael, Chris and Dev are returning to Ibiza and the hotel where it all began thirty years ago…  But Michael’s stuck in London, Dev’s got a bad back and Chris… well, he’s just Chris.  And it turns out that none of them are in their twenties anymore!  As this middle-aged trip down memory lane is about to hurtle off the tracks, Holly and Amy arrive, so down-to-earth they might just save our feckless heroes from really humiliating themselves…

Neil D’Souza’s razor-sharp comedy picks over the gulf between past aspirations and present realities - how we can come to terms with the past and find a way to face the future.  D’Souza’s other plays include Small Miracle (Colchester) and Coming Up (Watford).

Alice Hamilton is Hampstead Theatre’s Associate Director.  Her credits include the Downstairs productions of Every Day I Make Greatness Happen and Paradise, and The Dumb Waiter and The Memory of Water on Hampstead’s Main Stage.

Out of Season is a T. S. Eliot Foundation commission.
