The PumpHouse: Skylight

Olivier and Tony Award winning play about two people bound together by a shared memory of passion, but divided by income and attitude.

Tom Sergeant is a rich restaurateur who visits Kyra Hollis in her cold Kensal Rise flat. Tom is still suffering from guilt and grief over the death of his wife a year ago. He seeks consolation from Kyra, who was once his co-worker as well as his lover, and finds that she has achieved fulfillment by teaching difficult kids in an East End school.

Starring Rebekah Dack, Joseph Wycoff and Ryan Wood. Directed by Suzy Sampson. Suzy last directed Popcorn for Company Theatre at The Rose Centre.

“Hare’s first rate play hits you right between the eyes with its mixture of private pain and public rage.” – UK Guardian

“Hare’s 1995 drama, his tightest and quite possibly his best – sometimes anguished, sometimes heart shatteringly funny” – New York Times
