Written by the American playwright Tennessee Williams in 1959, Sweet Bird of Youth once again appears in London’s West End. It tells the story of Chance, a drifter who is seeking to win back the affections of Heavenly, and Alexandra, an intemperate movie star fleeing the awful reviews of her doomed comeback movie.
Mutually embittered at the death of their youthful hopes and dreams, their relationship of convenience takes them to Florida, the home of Heavenly – whereupon the ghosts of those lost dreams threatens to wreck everything…
On our Sweet Bird of Youth theatre breaks, you’ll witness stellar performances from Kit Cattrall and Seth Numrich, whilst being engrossed within themes of lost youth and the power of hope. Directed by Oliver Award-winner Marianne Elliott, the passing of time has done nothing to dim the remarkable power of this show making a Sweet Bird of Youth theatre break an experience that you’ll remember for a very long time.
