Kenneth Branagh - Harlequinade tickets

The first season of the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company promises a year of unmissable theatre.

Working in collaboration with artistic associates, director Rob Ashford and designer Christopher Oram, the acclaimed actor-director Kenneth Branagh presents an exceptional series of five plays that bring together a remarkable group of actors, led by Rob Brydon, Judi Dench, Lily James and Richard Madden.

HARLEQUINADE

By Terence Rattigan

In this rarely seen comic gem, a classical theatre company attempts to produce The Winter’s Tale and Romeo and Juliet, while the intrigues and dalliances of the company members are accidently revealed with increasingly chaotic and hysterical consequences.

The behind-the-scenes world takes centre stage in Terence Rattigan’s affectionate celebration of the lunatic art of putting on a play.

Kenneth Branagh will perform and co-direct with Rob Ashford.

All On Her Own

ZOË WANAMAKER

In addition to playing Dame Maud in Harlequinade, Zoe Wanamaker will play a monologue prior to Harlequinade each night.

In this brief but powerfully atmospheric play, a woman with a secret, alone at midnight in London has a burden to share that is at times both heart-breaking and sinister. This never-before-seen double bill celebrates the contrast in Rattigan’s astonishing range.
