Here’s a very different kind of theatre. Last Easter is a funny, moving and provocative play by Bryony Lavery, one of our most important contemporary playwrights, about the true nature of friendship. A quartet of theatre friends – a lighting designer, an actress, a prop maker and a drag singer – career across France.

They’re going to discover that miracles come in many different forms.
