Honour

Synopsis:

“You know, at our age sometimes you’d really rather read the last chapter of your Anne Tyler than handcuff each other to the bedhead.”

Married for over 30 years, Honor and George’s contented lifestyle is torn apart when George conceives a passion for a younger woman.

Joanna Murray-Smith says: “I wanted to put centre stage a middle-aged woman who has willingly sacrificed her life for marriage and is abandoned at the very point where she should be reaping the rewards of that devotion. It’s a poignant place to be.”

The play explores with sympathy and insight both Honor’s devastation and George’s dilemma, avoiding many of the usual clichés and crackling with taut dialogue.

“A heart-rending, hard-edged, devastating play............It heaves and bursts with a cruel and sensitive intelligence” The Sunday Times
