Brief Encounter

Guthrie's WorldStage Program presents Kneehigh Theatre's production of Noël Coward's Brief Encounter. During weekly encounters in a train station, Laura and Alec discover a mutual and irresistible passion, but their romance is destined to end prematurely because both are married. Using the unforgettable 1946 film by Noël Coward as inspiration, Kneehigh Theatre of Cornwall, England, creates a theatrically engaging blend of film, theater, comedy, songs and beguiling romance. Brief Encounter will play the Guthrie as one of just three exclusive stops in the U.S., following its critically acclaimed run in London where it was hailed by critics as "brilliantly done and superbly acted" and "a first class return to romance." adapted and directed by Emma Rice. Runs February 11 - April 3, 2010 (Opens on February 12)
Venue: McGUIRE Proscenium
