Marine Parade

By Simon Stephens

‘...a triumph...’ Fringe Review
‘Simon Stephens has emerged in this millennium as an outstanding playwright...’ Financial Times
‘Deftly staged by Jo McInnes in the Old Market theatre, this well-acted piece is likely to linger in the memory.’ The Guardian

Over the course of 24 hours at the edge of England, at the start of its final century, all of their lives are changed forever.

In a bed and breakfast on the Brighton sea front at the end of summer nine people’s lives dance around the possibility and impossibility of love. Claire needs more money than she’s ever owned. Christopher needs to see her one more time. Michael needs to tell Alison a truth he couldn’t dare utter. Alison needs to never hear it. Gary and Ellie need one night alone. Archie needs to save some poor sod’s life. Sally needs to get out of town, and Steve, who owns the whole desperate place to begin with, needs to tell her he loves her.


An English Touring Theatre, Animalink and Yes/No Productions co-production.
