THIS PRODUCTION COMPLETELY SOLD OUT FOR THE ENTIRE RUN.
Graham Greene’s controversial play The Potting Shed returns for its first London production in just under 40 years…
An estranged son desperately searches for the missing childhood memories that left him rejected by his father, alienated from his family and alone in the world. After a generation of denial, will the Callifer family ever end their silence on what happened in the potting shed all those years ago?
The Potting Shed was written in 1958 and originally produced at the Globe Theatre by H. M. Tennent Ltd with Sir John Gielgud, Irene Worth and Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies. It was last seen in London in 1971 at Sadler’s Wells with Cliff Richard in the lead role.
