Skylight
By David Hare
Synopsis:
A powerful "three-hander" that explores the relationship between a father, his son and his ex-mistress. Tom's wife has died a year before the play begins and Tom's son is unable to cope with his father's misery and guilt. Both men turn to help and solace to Tom's ex-mistress, but their re-emergence into her life disturbs and threatens her fragile independent existence.
Brought to you by one of our best local companies, David Hare's Skylight vividly creates the lives of the 3 protagonists. It is in turn a painfully intimate, joyously happy, frustratingly self-centred and, finally, optimistic look at love and loss.
