Daily Telegraph
Alison Steadman and David Troughton star in Alan Bennett's Enjoy, a rarely-performed gem by one of theatre's greatest observers of the English way of life.
Written in 1980, Alan Bennett set this dark comedy in his 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 re-housed 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.
With its cast of fifteen extraordinary characters and a stunning visual denouement, Enjoy is an absolute theatrical treat.
Alan Bennett has been a household name for more than forty years. His numerous plays include The History Boys, one of the biggest theatrical sensations of recent years, Habeas Corpus, Forty Years On, Single Spies, The Madness of George III, Talking Heads and The Lady in the Van.

Now showing at Gielgud Theatre

Gielgud Theatre
Shaftesbury Avenue
London

This theatre, which is designed in Louis XVI style, is a pair with the Queen's Theatre on the adjacent street corner. Originally called The Hicks Theatre, after actor-manager Seymour Hicks for whom it was built, the name was changed to The Globe in July 1909, and then in November 1994 the name was changed to The Gielgud in honour of the actor, aswell as to avoid confusion with the reconstructed Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. The Gielgud Theatre, now refurbished in 1987, is notable for it's circular Regency staircase and oval gallery.

Terence Frisby's "There's A Girl in my Soup" opened here in 1966 and had a long run of 1,064 performances, a run that was not surpassed until Andrew Lloyd Webber's production of the comedy "Daisy Pulls it Off" opened in April 1983 and lasted 1,180 performances, this theatre's record for the longest run. In 1987 Peter Shaffer's sucessful play "Lettice and Lovage" opened, with Maggie Smith and Margaret Tyzack in the original cast, and run for 2 years. In 1992 a revival of Oscar Wilde's classic comedy, "An Ideal Husband", directed by Peter Hall opened here and enjoyed a successful run of 7 months, this production was then restaged in 1996 at the Haymarket Theatre, before it transferred to Broadway.
