About the show

Beatie Bryant returns to her rural home in Norfolk, inflamed with political zeal from her time spent living in London. As the family anxiously prepares for the arrival of her firebrand activist boyfriend Ronnie, Beatie struggles to fit back into her old way of life. As Beatie's radical new ideals fail to land with her traditional family, the differences between young and old are laid bare. A lyrical, impassioned play about a young woman's journey to self-discovery which changed British theatre forever, with the mirror held up to 1950s society now angled towards 2024.
