"MY ZINC BED"By David Hare

 
  
 

 

Royal auditorium




 My Zinc Bed , the second production in
Royal & Derngate Northampton's Addicted To You season.


My Zinc Bed is written by Playwright David Hare, 
It follows his Academy Award-Winning adaptation of The Hours. His current play at the National Theatre, The Power of Yes, has been thrilling audiences and critics alike, while previous work such as The Secret Rapture, Plenty and Skylight have become contemporary classics. 

 
In My Zinc Bed a love triangle is bonded and warped by alcohol and obsessive desire. Over one long summer, Paul, a recovering alcoholic and young poet, is drawn into the orbit of billionaire internet businessman, Victor and his beautiful wife Elsa, who has her own dark past. With wit, passion and intensity, they fight to hold their lives together in the face of growing temptation. This is an intimate portrait of three people addicted to alcohol, their work and each other, which examines the meaning of friendship, faith and obsession.




  
Playing the part of businessman Victor Quinn is Robert Gwilym, perhaps best known as Dr Max in BBC TV’s Casualty. Jamie Parker, an exciting young actor most recently seen in the film Valkyrie alongside Tom Cruise, takes the role of the poet Paul Peplow. Jamie was also in the film version of Alan Bennett’s The History Boys as well as featuring in the cast of the original stage play of that name, both at the National Theatre and on Broadway. From the West End production of  Desperately Seeking Susan, LEANNE BEST completes the line up as Elsa Quinn.

A world premiere from Northampton’s hottest new writer.


A job which makes no sense. A life falling to pieces. A drunken quest for… what?

Join us to meet a man whose addiction for telling the truth leads to a night that spirals out of control. Taking you on a journey across London, this one-man show explores the lies we tell ourselves and each other, and the fall-out when the truth is revealed. Performed in our local pub The Mailcoach, this darkly comic story puts you up close with a young man eager to share his story over a pint.

DC Moore’s first play Alaska was produced at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs in 2007, for which he was awarded the inaugural Tom Erhardt Award for promising new playwrights. Born and brought up in Northampton, DC Moore has previously worked at Royal & Derngate as an assistant director.

“DC MOORE’S DEBUT IS A SEARING AND UNCOMFORTABLE PROBING OF PREJUDICE IN ALL ITS FORMS”- THE INDEPENDENT ON ALASKA

very strong language and is unsuitable for under 16s
