Amongst FriendsIn its 50th anniversary year Hampstead Theatre is looking back by reviving past hits and looking forward by streaming ahead with contemporary productions; the world premiere of April De Angelis's comedy Amongst Friends is another notch for new writing at this exciting theatre. Having already premiered one play here, and with the Royal Court and RSC also recipients of her work, De Angelis is no stranger to the world of playwriting and this latest offering looks like a worthy addition to her works. It's a sharp social satire, all dark comedy and probing wit, centred around the lethal couple combination of journalist and ex-MP/crime writer, who invite their old neighbours round for dinner. Sounds simple enough - and all terribly middle class - until an uninvited guest shows up. Helen Baxendale plays the 'happy and successful' journo Laura, which is probably a brilliantly irritating casting, with Aiden Gillett (The House of Eliott, Ivanhoe) as her husband Richard.
 

About Hampstead Theatre

The Hampstead Theatre has existed in various forms since 1959, when it opened in a Scout Hall and its opening season in 1959 included two new plays by Harold Pinter, The Room and The Dumb Waiter. In 1962 the company moved to a portacabin in Swiss Cottage where it remained for nearly 40 years. More about Hampstead Theatre
