In February 2009, ENJOY opened to the biggest advance of any of Alan Bennett's plays in the West End. Now this extraordinary comedy visits Norwich with the original West End cast including Alison Steadman and David Troughton.
ENJOY is set in Alan Bennett's home town of Leeds where an ageing couple are living in the city's last back-to-back. With the demolition of the area in progress, Wilf and Connie are soon to be re-housed in a brand new maisonette with a waste disposal unit and non-slip vinyl flooring. When a sociologist comes to observe them in their daily life, normality takes a decidedly atypical turn...
A dream cast includes Alison Steadman, one of our best-loved actresses. On stage she created the role of the monstrous Beverly in Mike Leigh's ABIGAIL'S PARTY and starred in THE RISE AND FALL OF LITTLE VOICE for which she won an Olivier Award. She is also a star of the cult TV hit GAVIN & STACEY. David Troughton is a veteran of many landmark RSC and National Theatre productions.
“A rich and wondrous play...a joyous production!” *****
The Guardian
“Alison Steadman...fabulous, David Troughton...marvellous. Explosively funny” ****
