"I'm a happily married woman. Or rather I was, until a few weeks ago."

Noel Coward's 'Brief Encounter' remains one of the screen's greatest ever love stories. Its timeless, sensitive portrayal of two happily married strangers thrown together by a chance meeting and helpless in the face of their emotions has enthralled generations.

Adapted for the stage by Emma Rice, Coward's classic 1945 screenplay and the one-act play 'Still Life' on which it was based, are energetically fused together with classic Coward songs and music to make a richly theatrical and vibrant experience.

As the locomotive steam swirls about you, 'Brief Encounter' will take you back to the edge of an impossible affair. To a time when it mattered what people thought and a cup of tea cost threepence.

Directed by Brian Hudd and featuring the talents of some of Next Stage's finest actors, don't miss this first-class ticket to romance.
