THE HARMONY TEST

About the show

Newlyweds Zoe and Kash are ready to start a family. Zoe wants to take a practical approach: fertility plans, vitamin supplements and a strict diet. Kash, on the other hand, would rather follow the advice of an intriguing man he just met in Holland and Barrett. Empty-nesters Naomi and Charlie have been living in matrimonial bliss for twenty odd years – or at least they had been according to Charlie. Frustrated and lonely, Naomi heads to the gym in search of a new lease on life. Instead, she finds Rocco – a much younger personal trainer willing to take a hands-on approach to the job… Richard Molloy’s hilarious comedy explores life’s positives and negatives, from starting families, to ending marriages, and everything that comes in between. The Harmony Test is directed by Alice Hamilton, Hampstead Theatre’s Associate Director and is their second collaboration, following the hugely successful Olivier Award-nominated Every Day I Make Greatness Happen, which played Downstairs in 2018. The cast features Pearl Chanda (The House of Bernarda Alba, National Theatre; Sea Creatures, Hampstead Theatre); Ian Charleson award winner Bally Gill (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, RSC; Allelujah); Jemima Rooper (One Man, Two Guvnors, National Theatre; Little Shop of Horrors, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre; Lost in Austen); Sandro Rosta who is making his professional debut and Milo Twomey (Winter Solstice, Orange Tree Theatre; Damsel).
