“In his day, William Inge was as well-known and influential as his friend and mentor Tennesse Williams, with Broadway hits and Hollywood movies. He came from Kansas, writing about small town life and people.
In the UK productions of his work are rare so I’m delighted that we are presenting the in-the-round premiere of Bus Stop here in the Midlands.”
Theresa Heskins, artistic director of the New Vic, Newcastle-Under-Lyme
This new production of Inge’s original play (which differs slightly from the famous MM movie) runs from January 28 until February 19, before transferring to the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough.
The eight-strong cast includes Louise Dylan (Harriet Smith in the 2009 BBC adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma), Patrick Driver, Philip Correia, Abigail McKern and Beth Park. James Dacre directs. Ticket prices range from £9.50 – £18.50.
