In February 2009, Enjoy opened to the biggest advance of any of Alan Bennett’s plays in the West End. Now this extraordinary comedy visits Plymouth with the original West End cast including Alison Steadman and David Troughton.
Enjoy is set in Alan Bennett’s home town of Leeds where an ageing couple are living in the city’s last back-to-back. With the demolition of the area in progress, Wilf and Connie are soon to be rehoused in a brand new maisonette with a waste disposal unit and non-slip vinyl flooring. When a sociologist comes to observe them in their daily life, normality takes a decidedly atypical turn…
'A rich and wondrous play...a joyous production!' Guardian*****
'Wildly funny...hugely entertaining. Enjoy will be a joy forever.' Independent****
'Alison Steadman...fabulous, David Troughton...Marvellous. Explosively funny.' Mail on Sunday****
'I doubt I will see anything more insightful, more human and more killingly funny than this wondrous piece of theatre before we ring in 2010.' Sunday Telegraph*****
