Height of The Storm by Florian Zeller

Andre and Madeleine have been in love for over fifty years. This weekend, as their daughters visit, something feels unusual. A bunch of flowers arrives, but who sent them? A woman from the past turns up. But who is she? And why does Andre feel like he isn’t there at all?

The Guardian says…

Height of the storm puzzles the brain whilst touching the heart.
It’s about love, loss and the unbearable pain of absence.

The running time of this play is about 70-80 minutes without an interval and is a main house production.
