Under The Blue Sky

  Duke of York’s Theatre, St Martin’s Lane, London WC2           

15 July – 20 September 

Francesca Annis, Lisa Dillon, Chris O’Dowd, Dominic Rowan and Catherine Tate are to star in the West End premiere of David Eldridge’s Under The Blue Sky which will open at the Duke of York’s Theatre on 25 July, with previews from 15 July, and is currently booking until 20 September 2008.  Directed by Anna Mackmin, Under The Blue Sky is designed by Lez Brotherston with lighting by Mark Henderson and sound by Paul Arditti, and is produced in the West End by Sonia Friedman Productions and Robert G. Bartner.  Final casting will be announced shortly.

Under The Blue Sky is a funny and touching play - three subtly connected love stories that reveal in turn the roller-coaster ride of lust in its prime, the sacrifices of a life in public service and unrequited passions.   In the long shadow of the twentieth century, Eldridge’s play gives us an all too recognisable portrayal of the way in which uncertainties, misunderstanding and the unsaid lead to unexpected results for three couples who seem destined never to say the right thing.
