Brief Encounter


Brief Encounter, Cambridge Arts Theatre, 2009

Cast: Hannah Yelland, Milo Twomey, Annette McLaughlin, Joseph Alessi, Beverly Rudd, Christopher Price, Violet Ryder, Jack Beale, Adam Pleeth, David Brown.

Writer: Noel Coward
Director & adaptor: Emma Rice.

Everyone loves the film Brief Encounter so putting it on stage is risky, but it did being life as a different play before Coward reworked it so everything's fine. I don't remember anything about this production, and am surprised to find I went to it, but I have seen a couple of versions of this since, once in London and once in Keswick, both very entertaining. I'd see this again.
