Following succesful world premiere run at Jermyn Street Theatre in London, CTCO Theatre Productions is performing Doonreagan at ADC Theatre in Cambridge on 3 and 4 October at 7:45pm.
Doonreagan explores the doomed relationship between Poet Laureate Ted Hughes and Assia Wevill during their brief but intense spell in Connemara, Ireland. It reflects their efforts to establish a common ground free from the towering shadow of Ted's first wife, Sylvia Plath; their longing for peace and contentment; and their discovery that, close to nature, away from the judgments, pressures, demands and expectations of the world at large, they came closer not only to each other, but also to themselves.
Previous praise for Doonreagan:
“…packs a lot of emotional punch into its single act…” **** 4 stars Everything Theatre
“…an intimate and subtle portrait of a troubled couple…” Time Out
“Jocelyn’s dialogue is subtle, empathetic, and sensitive.” The Public Reviews
“….Daniel Simpson’s Ted Hughes is well-captured…” The Public Reviews
“…beautifully written and cleverly nuanced…” Entertainment Focus
“…compelling backdrop… insecure, seductive Assia (played by a mesmerising Flora Montgomery)….” We Love the Books
Written by Ann Henning Jocelyn, known for her translations of Jon Fosse's work. The play is directed by award-winning New York director Alex Dmitriev. The cast includes Flora Montgomery (Best Irish Actress Award, Basic Instinct 2) and Daniel Simpson (London Road, National Theatre).
