Eclipse - World Premiere

In the kitchen of an old Devon rectory, the daughter who stayed and the son who moved away make conversation with their current and former partners, the milkman, the postman, the care workers. They talk about the weather, the roads, the toaster, the bins. About anything except the simmering tensions between them, as their father lies mortally ill in the next room.

Until the unspoken emotions and conflicts of years boil over.
Eclipse is a painfully funny, acute and delicate play about our struggle to communicate, in the face of life and of death. And our infinite capacity for drinking tea.
Writer and director John Morton’s award-winning TV series include People Like Us, Twenty Twenty Six, Twenty Twelve and W1A; this is his first stage play.
The company is led by Sarah Parish, whose recent TV credits include W1A, Piglets, Industry and Bancroft and who last appeared at CFT in Way Upstream; and Rupert Penry-Jones, returning to the stage after many screen series including Spooks, Silk, Whitechapel, The Strain and The Feud.
Eclipse was originally commissioned and developed by ROYO, in association with Wessex Grove.
