The Pride: Award-Winning Drama Explores Love Through the Decades
- Full Price:
- $30.00

- $15.00
A love triangle among Oliver, Philip and Sylvia alternates between 1958 and the present day in The Pride, an Olivier Award-winning drama by Alexi Kaye Campbell. The play explores the trio's complex, tumultuous relationship as it shifts from the repression of the 1950s to the relative openness of today and back again, with the two sets of characters sharing the same names and similar relationship issues. Betrayal, guilt, identity and passion are at the core of this thought-provoking work anchored by deft performances from the trio of actors. The play's original production at London's Royal Court Theatre earned Campbell the Critics' Circle Award for Most Promising Playwright and the John Whiting Award for Best New Play. Learn More

star this review starred report as inappropriateIts a well written comedy. Jokes inappropriate for a very young audience. I would recommend for teens and older. The end was a little slow. No intermission. 90 minute play

About American Blues Theater
In 1985, American Blues Theater’s Founding Ensemble members produced our inaugural world premiere about the working person’s struggle. Twenty-seven years later, we still find this subject timeless and poignant. You witness examples of the competition and anxiety in offices, homes, and farms throughout the United States. This fight plays out in stadiums and entertainment venues as well. You’ll root for your local artists season after season, applaud their merit and skill, and talk about critics’ fate-making judgments.
