The multi award winning play THE PRIDE, written by Alexi Kaye Campbell, comes to the Theatre Royal, Brighton from January 14 – 18.
THE PRIDE is a hilarious and heartfelt landmark play about courage, compassion and the fear of loneliness in life’s journey towards self-discovery.
Directed by groundbreaking director Jamie Lloyd with design by Soutra Gilmour, THE PRIDE has been a critical and award nominated hit during its West End run.
It stars Harry Hadden-Paton as Philip, Mathew Horne as The Man/Peter/The Doctor, Naomi Sheldon as Sylvia and Al Weaver as Oliver.
Director Jamie Lloyd, said: “Given recent political and social issues, THE PRIDE needs to be seen by a wider audience at this point in time. I am thrilled that we are taking the production outside London as a part of our drive to make our work more accessible.
What is the point of this stupid, painful life if not to be honest? If not to stand up for what you are in the core of your being?
Philip, Oliver and Sylvia exist in a complex love triangle, which spans over half a century, living and loving simultaneously in 1958 and the present against a background of changing attitudes towards homosexuality. Past and present worlds grind together and melt apart, yet the future and its promise of sexual liberation remains ever elusive, as societal repression gives way to self-deception.
Alexi Kaye-Campbell’s first play THE PRIDE, was staged at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, directed by Jamie Lloyd, and is the winner of an Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in an affiliate theatre, a Critic’s Circle Award for Most Promising Playwright and the John Whiting award for Best New Play.
