The British are coming! In this limited-engagement, direct from sold-out performances all over the United Kingdom, England's acclaimed Kneehigh Theatre transforms an iconic love story into a jaw-dropping fusion of theater, film and music. Forbidden passion brews in a 1945 railway station tearoom when a suburban housewife, over a series of stolen afternoons, falls madly in love with a married doctor.

Simon and Janine are sent on an unexpected journey to the war-torn Middle East after their mother, who for years had remained silent, leaves them post-mortem letters with clues to the family's mysterious past. Their quest to unravel their origins leads them in search of a father and brother whose existence was previously unknown to them. Adapted into the Oscar-nominated film, Incendies, and translated into a dozen languages in over 100 productions worldwide, Scorched makes its West Coast debut at American Conservatory Theatre. The A.C.T. production features David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck) as bumbling notary public Alphonse Lebel, who acts as a guide to the two twins in their search. Learn More

A very lively retelling of this Noel Coward story. All the performers were so fun to watch and listen to. Amazingly inventive staging as well. Definitely worth the trip even on a rainy SF night!

A very entertaining evening! The set and style of the production are creative and help to move the production along. Much like "Seinfeld" the main characters are somewhat bland but the supporting charater actors and music and singing are fantastic.
