AN award winning production of an Oscar nominated classic is being staged at The Players Theatre in Thame on Friday, October 31, at 7.45pm.
The one night only performance is part of a national tour by White Cobra Productions, after it scooped no less than eight awards earlier this year in two arts festivals.
Days of Wine & Roses by Owen McCafferty is a modern reworking of the classic film by JP Miller, which starred Hollywood legends, Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick. The play is set in the 1960s and tells the story of couple moving from Belfast to London in search of a better life.
One drink is all it takes to change the lives of Donal and Mona, and the play examines the way each of them deals with a relationship that becomes almost too powerful to bear.
The play was a huge hit when first produced at the Donmar Warehouse in London and now White Cobra founders, Kate Billingham and Richard Jordan, play the central couple.
Both have won best actor awards and the production has twice been voted best play in arts festivals.
The play will run for one night only at The Players Theatre, Nelson Street, Thame. Curtain up is at 7.45pm and tickets cost £10 and £9 with £1 off for concessions, available from Tickets Anywhere, Greyhound Walk, Thame, Telephone 01844 217228 or online at www.thameplayers.co.uk.
