Two Ladies

14 Sep – 26 Oct 2019

Overview of the production

As their husbands clash over an international crisis,
the first ladies of France and America find themselves
alone together in a side room.

Friends, or enemies? When the stakes are so high,
can they trust each other?

Can they trust their husbands?

Cast includes award-winning stage and screen actor Zoë Wanamaker who is re-united with director Nicholas Hytner for her Bridge debut and Zrinka Cvitešić who returns to the London stage after her Olivier award-winning performance in Once.

Irish playwright Nancy Harris won acclaim for Our New Girl at the Bush and the Stewart Parker award for her first full-length play No Romance in 2012. Her new play The Beacon is opening at the Druid Theatre in Galway, Ireland, in the same week as Two Ladies.
