Skylight

Schoolteacher Kyra receives an unexpected visit from her former lover, Tom, a charismatic self-made restaurant tycoon. Supper bubbles on the stove, a cheap electric heater tries to dispel the cold of a London winter’s night and flickers of their former passion rekindle. As they fall into a battle of opposing politics and mutual desire, is the gap between them too great to be bridged?

One of the great intimate plays of passionate ideas and complex love – delicate, hilarious and thought provoking.

Skylight was originally produced at the National Theatre in 1995, before transferring to the West End and Broadway, and won an Olivier Award for Best Play.
