Description

The Wallis production of
THE PRIDE
By Alexi Kaye Campbell
Directed by Michael Arden
The Pride is a gorgeously-drawn drama alternating between two very distinct time periods and sets of characters whose fate is written by their eras. In 1958, Philip is married to Sylvia, but is secretly attracted to her colleague Oliver. In 2008, Philip lives with his boyfriend Oliver, who continually destroys their relationship with his addiction to casual sex and turns to their friend Sylvia for guidance and support. As the past and present worlds collide, The Pride’s complex love triangle provides a provocative, humorous and insightful look at fidelity and forgiveness.
WARNING: This production contains brief nudity, sexual content, strong language, violence and uses atmospheric haze, herbal cigarettes and strobe effects. Recommended for mature audiences only.
"A work of subtlety and sophistication. The Pride grabs you with its considerable intelligence and heart." - Entertainment Weekly
“****Marvelous, sad and blisteringly funny. A brave and rewarding drama that speaks to us all.” - The Guardian
