Elsa is used to hiding the most important parts of herselfher feelings for Rye, her distaste for a world ruled by men, and, most crucially, her gift of songlight.

She buries that secret deep inside. In Brightland, those with songlight are called Unhumans and are abhorred. Rye is the only other person Elsa has known with songlight, and their shared bond has brought them together.

Elsas world begins to fall apart one desperate, heart-wrenching day and she doesnt know where to turn until a girl appears before her.

But the girl isnt really thereher songlight has been drawn to Elsas frantic grief.

Elsa lives in a remote seaside village; Nightingale, her new friend, lives in a city hundreds of miles away with her father, a government official responsible for rooting out Unhumans. The two never expected to connect via songlight. But when they do, and when they realize the extent of their power, theyll be thrust in the middle of a war that threatens their very existence.

A deliciously black satirical comedy about the dinner party from hell. The fastidious host, Paige, decides to throw a dinner party in honour of her husband Lars, who is celebrating the success of his pop psychology book, Beyond Belief. She carefully plans a surprise menu that will mark the occasion, and anxiously checks with the waiter she has employed to make sure that everything is perfectly prepared. Her lucky guests include a post-feminist vegetarian artist, a distinguished microbiologist, a TV journalist and an uninvited guest who ends up staying for dinner. But it soon becomes apparent that the meal may contain some rather nasty surprises… Moira Buffini''s outrageous comedy Dinner started life in the National Theatre''s Loft in 2002, and became her first West End smash. In this production, adapted by the writer for BBC Drama on 3, Harriet Walter returns to the role she created: Paige, the hostess and architect of an evening which her guests will never forget. Two other original leads, Nicholas Farrell and Penny Downie, and four new cast members join her in this viciously black chamber piece about appetite, which will make you think twice about ever accepting another invitation to dinner.Moira Buffini was nominated for an Olivier Award for Dinner in 2003, and won the Olivier in 2014 for her play Handbagged.CastPaige……………………Harriet WalterLars……………………Nicholas FarrellWynne……………………Penny DownieHal……………………Paul BazelySian……………………Pippa Bennett-WarnerMike……………………Peter McDonaldWaiter……………………David HounslowProduced and directed by Jonquil Panting
