Orchard comfort aplenty
PREVIEW : COMFORT ME WITH APPLES
Hampstead Theatre
NELL Leyshon’s highly acclaimed, award-winning play Comfort Me With Apples returns to Hampstead Theatre.
The show, which won the best new play at the Theatre Awards last year, is a bittersweet elegy to the lives of a rural family.
Set in the autumn days of an apple orchard in Somerset, the scent of cider apples – Beauty of Bath, Kingston Black, Glory of the West – fills the air.
Inside the farmhouse, the rule of matriarch Irene is challenged by her middle-aged son Roy, who is tiring of being tied to an unprofitable farm, and by his estranged sister Brenda, who returns to the fold.
As apples fall and rot on the ground, bonds of love, old ways and legends are tested in this richly evocative tale about our changing rural landscape.
