Brief Encounter
Laura Jesson, a respectable housewife and mother, takes the train into town each Thursday to shop, have lunch and go to a cinema. By sheer chance she meets a G.P. Dr. Alec Harvey in a railway station tearoom.
Both bored with their own lives they seek a little adventure with each other and their friendship soon develops into something more romantic, something they worry will cause havoc in their private lives. They realise it is doomed to failure and very much a “Brief Encounter”.
Although their story tugs at the heart strings, this adaptation is a fun light-hearted evening of drama, songs, live music - the cast playing multiple roles.
“Brief Encounter” was adapted for the stage by Emma Rice adapted from the play Still Life and the screenplay Brief Encounter, both by Noël Coward. Originally commissioned by David Pugh & Dafydd Rogers & Cineworld who first presented Kneehigh’s production of Noël Coward’s Brief Encounter in 2008. Songs and verse are by Noël Coward. The original music and musical arrangements are by Stu Barker.
