By Harriet Lane adapted by Lucinda Coxon

Alys, Always is a superbly disquieting psychological thriller, with a mischievous satirical undercurrent.

Frances Thorpe leads a mundane life as an over-worked and underappreciated sub-editor on the book’s pages of a Sunday paper, until the day she happens upon the aftermath of a car crash and hears the last words of the driver, Alys Kyte.

When Alys’s family makes contact in an attempt to find closure, Frances is given a tantalising glimpse of a very different world: one of privilege and possibility. The relationships she builds with the Kytes will have an impact on her own life, both professionally and personally.

Contains some strong language. This play explores themes of manipulation.

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
