WHAT’S ON…


Set in London and presenting two concurrent timelines, Kaye Campbell drops his characters into 1958 and 2008; asking how much of our struggle is a product of our essential nature and how much is it a response to the times in which we live? Charting the seismic changes in attitudes to sexuality that have taken place over 50 years in Britain, The Guardian says “Campbell's play is a work of art that juxtaposes scenes from the repressive 1950s with others from the more liberated, but still imperfect, present”. The past’s tortuous emotional triangle: Philip, an estate agent, married to Sylvia but attracted to Oliver. In the present, Oliver, a journalist, is in love with Philip but addicted to sex with strangers.

  • "By now, I’ve grown accustomed to the tricks and traps of theatre made for digital consumption, but I find anseo|anois‘s manipulation of the form particularly impressive"

    THE UNIVERSITY TIMES

  • "Keeping Vigil is a melancholy study of unfulfilled hopes and lingering regrets made all the more powerful by the characters being at the start, rather than the end, of their lives"
