WOODLANDS Drama Group's next production will be taking place this month with a play by one of Britain's most acclaimed playwrights.
The Secret Rapture written by David Hare was first performed in London in 1988 when it starred actress, Penelope Wilton. It was thought by many to be his greatest play and one of the best seen in the 1980s.
The storyline centres on two sisters, Marion and Isobel, who meet up at their late father's home.
His much younger widow, the fragile and alcoholic Katherine, announces her plan to join Isobel's design firm.
Although Marion, an ambitious Conservative junior minister, wants nothing to do with Katherine, Isobel agrees, so triggering a terrible tragedy.
The play is a witty and acerbic examination of human relationships.
Showing at Harrogate Theatre Studio from Thursday, October 23 to Saturday, October 25 nightly at 7.45pm evenings and also 2.45pm on Saturday, tickets priced £7 are now available from Harrogate Theatre box office on 01423 502116.
