The Breath of Life

Frances was the dutiful wife of Martin. Madeleine was his not-so-dutiful mistress of 25 years. Now Martin has moved to America with a younger woman, so the two enemies meet face-to-face at last, to discuss their relationships with the elusive man by whom they refuse to be defined.

Together they explore the past, realising they must learn to feel the breath of life again. A riveting play, packed with electric tension, quick wit and raw humour.

The original West End production was performed by Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, and was sold out before it opened!
