Multi award-winning star of screen and stage Jonathan Pryce and three-time Olivier award-winning Eileen Atkins will star in the UK premiere production of Florian Zeller’s The Height of the Storm at the Theatre Royal Bath.

Directed by Jonathan Kent, running September18 to Saturday 29, this major new play by the internationally acclaimed writer of The Father visits the Theatre Royal as one of only three venues on tour before transferring direct to the West End.

It is the story of André and Madeleine, who have been in love for over fifty years. This weekend, as their daughters visit, something feels unusual. A bunch of flowers arrives, but who sent them? A woman from the past turns up, but who is she? And why does André feel like he isn’t there at all?

Described as a searing exploration of love, family and the fragility of life, this compelling family drama by Florian Zeller unites two of the greatest actors of their generation on stage together for the first time.

Tickets are £28 - £46.50 with concessions available. To book, call 01225 448844 or visit theatreroyal.org.uk.
