Description
People cross our paths for a reason. That, no doubt, reads like a horrible cliché but I never claimed to be a good writer, only an honest one. I believe the reason I met you was to become comfortable in my own skin.
Ever seen a couple of old boys on a park bench and wondered what they are chatting about? In his new play, Ben Weatherill lets us overhear Frank and Percy as they discuss the weather, then their dogs, and then each other and so much more. Will the widowed schoolteacher and the elder statesman dare to risk changing their lives or let sleeping dogs lie?
Frank and Percy is a poignant and witty take on the unexpected relationship that blossoms between two men.
Old friends, three-time Olivier Award winner Roger Allam, and one of our greatest stage and screen actors, Ian McKellen, re-unite for this witty, moving two-hander.
This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Theatre Royal Windsor, in June 2023.
