Honeymoon Suite

By Richard Bean

‘Paul Miller's deftly orchestrated, beautifully acted production for English Touring Theatre...’ The Independet
‘...full of deadpan humour...’ The Guardian
‘...one of the most breathtakingly fine productions before the British public today.’ Financial Times

A honeymoon suite in Bridlington. Eddie and Irene begin married life with great excitement, but the future may have other ideas…

You love someone, you can feel it, like a lump, summat you carry around with yer. Bloody hell, it’s either there or it int, like a hat.

If Romeo and Juliet had lived, would their marriage have survived? How long? Ten years? Twenty? Fifty? How would the union have coped with poverty, corruption, his ignorance, her aspiration, an ungrateful daughter, no sons, infidelity with an attractive bloke on a night class, God knows how many miscarriages and even murder?
