SKYLIGHT
Playing at The Theatre
Wed 11th - Sat 21st Sept
One of the great intimate plays of passionate ideas and complex love.
In a cold London flat during the depths of Winter, Kyra and newly widowed Tom reconnect years after the end of a passionate affair. Was it their polar opposite approach to life that drove them apart, or was it Tom ‘accidently’ letting his wife find out? What has kept them apart all these years, and might they still love each other? Over the course of a single night, a series of unexpected visitors, and a combination of sadness, anger and laughter, will Kyra find the answers?
Skylight was originally produced at the National Theatre before transferring to the West End and Broadway, winning an Olivier Award for Best Play. Book your tickets now to catch Skylight at Chipping Norton Theatre before it heads out on its UK Tour.
