Brief EncounterThe classic film Brief Encounter premiered at the cinema on the Haymarket in 1946. Now live on stage, Noel Coward's Brief Encounter is back at the cinema on the Haymarket.
Switching seamlessly between theatre and film using a combination of Coward’s original stage play Still Life and the screenplay of Brief Encounter, Emma Rice, Kneehigh’s Artistic Director, takes you back to a
bygone age of romance and the silver screen from the moment the commissionaire opens the doors.
The lives and loves of three couples are played out in the famous station tearoom using the words and songs of Noël Coward to create a breathtaking, delightfully funny and tear-inducing show.
Built in 1926 as the Carlton Theatre, the cinema on the Haymarket will take you back to an age when cinemas had chandeliers, champagne, tea served on trays and a big organ.
