HAUNTED

Dual Academy Award Nominee Brenda Blethyn stars as the formidable Mrs Berry in this poignant and enchanting memory play written by leading Irish playwright Edna O'Brien. 
Haunted begins when a captivating young woman, Hazel enters the life of the quixotic Mr Berry. 
Mr Berry's desperation to ensure Hazel's return sees him secretly giving away his wife's clothes in exchange for elocution lessons. As Mrs Berry searches for a explanation to her fast diminishing wardrobe, Mr Berry soon discovers that both his relationships are increasingly under threat.  Starring Brenda Blethyn as Mrs Berry, acclaimed Irish actor Niall Buggy as Mr Berry and Beth Cooke as Hazel in a "Trio of wonderous performances" (The Guardian UK).
