Sunset Across the Bay

Another chance to see this play from 1975, shown as part of a major retrospective of the work of Alan Bennett and his producer Innes Lloyd.
For years Mam and Dad have dreamed of retiring to the seaside at Morecambe. But when they finally make it, they find settling down in their new surroundings much harder than they thought.
Director Stephen Frears
