CANARY

A new play by JONATHAN HARVEY

In 1960’s Liverpool, Tom and Billy hide in the closet, then go their separate ways. While the pits close and the dole queues grow, Mickey and Russell escape to find Heaven in 1980’s London. But the paparazzi turn judge and jury over a love story that could tear this family apart. And there’s Ellie who gets lost up a mountain with a vicar...

Written by Liverpool-born, multi-award-winning playwright Jonathan Harvey (Beautiful Thing, Hushabye Mountain, Coronation Street), Canary is a deeply moving, funny, uplifting and often surreal story about sex, modern Britain and being brave enough to sing out, at the top of your voice. With style.

ETT returns to Cambridge following recent triumphs here including: The Hypochondriac and Far from the Madding Crowd. A powerhouse of touring theatre, ETT works with a rich mix of the country’s leading and emerging artists to stage thrilling and ambitious theatre that is vigorous, popular and entertaining.

Contains scenes of a sexual nature and strong language.
