Welcoming audiences to the Hotel Beauregard as a guest for the evening, the classic drama written in 1958 takes the form of two short plays with an interval in between with many of the characters featuring in both.

The company have transformed the hall into the genteel seaside Beauregard Hotel dining room, the location for all of the action where secrets are exposed and tension is met. “Played ‘in the round’, the seating arrangement will bring you closer to the action,” said a Viva spokesman.

“Take in the aromas of real freshly cooked hot food and an atmosphere you could cut with a knife.”
