The Graduate

After graduating from college Benjamin Braddock returns home unsure of what he wants to do next. Feeling disillusioned and pressurised to get on with his life, Benjamin escapes into a steamy affair with Mrs Robinson, an older, married woman and friend of the family. The pair secretly meets regularly. Meanwhile Ben meets and falls in love with Elaine - Mrs Robinson's daughter.

I have a wonderful and talented cast including Liz Pybus, Dan Tiplady, Alice Higgins, Ken Torbett, Charles Compton and Alison Hancock. Together the whole team is crafting a special piece of theatre, with some compelling portrayals. The writing by Terry Johnson is magnetic. It has been a joy to take this writing, the characters and The Graduate's amazing history and watch it all come to life on stage.

A hit in the West End, on Broadway and hopefully now on the BP stage! 'The Graduate' brings the iconic movie of the sixties vividly and powerfully to life on stage. Not to be missed!
