Distinguished Villa

Brixton, London 1925,

Mabel Hemworth and her husband Natty, are the picture of conventional middle-class married life, attempting to re-adjust to everyday life, post World War I. However, all is thrown into question upon the arrival of the loving, liberal and enlightened Frances, ultimately leading the Hemworths down a path of unforeseen consequences.

Written by Irish writer and novelist Kate O’Brien, Distinguished Villa was first performed in London in 1926 and in the Abbey Theatre in 1929.
Directed by Hilary Wood this timely revival brings this hidden gem back for a new and modern audience.
