The Priory by Michael Wynne

The Priory is on at The Royal Court Theatre from November 19 - January 9.

Kate is delighted when she finds a country retreat that ticks all the boxes. Gathering together a select group of her closest friends to celebrate New Year's Eve, she is keen to start 2010 afresh. But successful, stressed-out thirtysomethings in search of a good time in the sticks can make for one very fearsome party... and some surprising resolutions.

Michael Wynne's buoyant new comedy takes a microscope to modern dilemmas about life, love and retro board games.Michael Wynne's previous plays include The People Are Friendly and The Knocky for the Royal Court, and Sell Out, Dirty Wonderland and The Boy Who Left Home. He also co-wrote the film My Summer of Love.

Director Jeremy Herrin's recent work includes Tusk Tusk, The Vertical Hour and That Face, all at the Royal Court.

Cast includes Nick Blood, Jessica Hynes, Alastair Mackenzie, Joseph Millson, Rupert Penry-Jones, Charlotte Riley and Rachael Stirling.

I really wish I could've seen this! I live in CA, USA... lame. If someone wants to fill me in about the details of the awesomeness of this show, it would be much appreciated! ;-) It looks amazing!

This was a fantastic play. I was lucky enough to get myself a last minute ticket to tonight's opening show, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The cast did a brilliant job.

Will be trying to drag a friend back to check it out again later in the run for sure!

Catch it if you can!
