REHEARSALS are well underway at Ilkley Playhouse for the first production of 2015.
JB Priestley’s drama Time And The Conways, directed by Jacquie Howard, runs from Monday until February 7.
It is 1919 and the First World War has just ended. The seemingly happy Conway family gathers to celebrate a birthday party.
Eighteen years later, on the brink of the Second World War, we see that the future is far from the one they imagined that night.
Priestley’s drama offers a deep insight into Britain between the two world wars, family conflict, and how irreconcilable differences can break loved ones apart.
Time And The Conways looks into complacency, class arrogance, and the knock-on effect of the family’s own mistakes.
Beneath the surface of the simple family story, Priestley explores the political and social history of Britain between the wars, and the nature of time itself.
Ilkley Playhouse will present Edward Albee’s classic drama, Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? from February 24 to 28.
Call 01943 609539 for more information and to book tickets for either play.
