Goodbye to All That

by Luke Norris

Jerwood Theatre Upstairs

‘I want you to remember something, David: if you remember only one thing I’ve ever told you, remember this every day – morning, noon and night – you do what you want with your life. Exactly what you want. Break heads if you need to and hearts if you have to, but whatever you do don’t do what I did. Don’t waste yourself.’

All productions

Next Production: Vera Vera Vera

Frank has been married for forty years. Three years ago he fell in love.

This taut and tender new play asks if it’s ever too late to start again?

Luke Norris is an actor, appearing at the Royal Court earlier this year in Aleksey Scherbak’s Remembrance Day. He attended Royal Court playwriting groups, before entering the Young Writers Festival. This is his first play.

Simon Godwin will direct. Recently appointed full-time Associate Director at the Royal Court, his credits here include The Acid Test by Anya Reiss and Wanderlust by Nick Payne. His other credits include Faith Healer and Far Away at Bristol Old Vic, The Winter’s Tale for Headlong and the Nuffield Theatre Southampton, Mister Heracles at the West Yorkshire Playhouse. As Associate Director of the Royal and Derngate Theatres in Northampton under Artistic Director Rupert Goold, Simon directed seven main stage shows.

Running time 1hr 10mins approx, no interval.
