Timothy West and
Simon Williams star in a play by Alan Bennett The
Old Country
Alan Bennett's play The Old Country deals with
questions of loyalty and betrayal, homeland and exile,
friendship and family, in a way which is both
extraordinarily funny and exceptionally touching. This
revival stars Timothy West, Jean Marsh and Simon
Williams.
The Old Country is about Hilary, a British spy in
exile in the Soviet Union, traitor to King, country and
class. When his sister and newly knighted brother-in-law
come to visit him and his long-suffering wife, Bron,
they are forced to re-examine their allegiances.
Alan Bennett is responsible for a number modern
day stage classics including Talking Heads, The Lady
in the Van, The Madness of George III, and more
recently, the multi-award winning The History Boys.
He received an Olivier Award in 2005 for Outstanding
Contribution to British Theatre.
