Twilight Song Kevin Elyot

Twilight Song
Kevin Elyot


In their sitting room in leafy north London, Isabella and Basil are getting ready to take Uncle Charles out to dinner. It's summer 1967 and their secrets are starting to crack as the world around them undergoes a revolution.

Tracing one family's hidden liaisons over half a century to the present day, Kevin Elyot's evocative final play conjures a heartbreakingly funny tale of fathers and sons, desire and regret, and lives half lived.
