The Entertainer theatre breaks are part of a new season of plays at The Garrick Theatre, produced by the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company. Other plays in the season include
Harlequinade,
The Painkiller,
Romeo and Juliet and
The Winter's Tale. This highly anticipated run of shows make the perfect West End theatre breaks for couples or groups of friends. The Entertainer in particular promises to provide a vivid evening of entertainment and drama, with everything from jaunty music to existentialist angst.
Originally written and set in 1950’s Britain, The Entertainer tells the story of Archie Rice, an angry, failing music-hall performer and his family with scenes alternating from the theatre stage to the family home. The gripping story of The Entertainer West End explores the family relationships and the strength of Archie's character as his resilience is tested in changing times. The Entertainer theatre breaks give you a night amidst the rich music hall and vaudeville traditions of yesteryear, while also exploring the themes of imperial decline and post-war social change.
One of British theatre’s heaviest hitters, Sir Kenneth Branagh, will both direct and appear in The Entertainer London, most likely in the role of Archie Rice, made famous at the Royal Court in 1957 by the legendary Laurence Olivier. Kenneth Branagh theatre breaks will begin in October will mark Branagh’s first appearance in the West End since Ivanov at The Donmar Warehouse in 2008, making a very special West End theatre break for lovers of the stage.
Having previously set up the Renaissance Theatre Company in the 1980s to stage productions starring such luminaries as Dame Judi Dench and Sir Derek Jacobi, Branagh has an eminent reputation. You can therefore expect your The Entertainer trip to be an unforgettable London break.
