Mild Oats/Still Life - T01888250285Mild Oats was written in the early twenties and tells the bitter sweet comedy of a couple who have just met, coming back to a London flat late at night for one thing, only to find something very different happening.... Written early in his career Mild Oats shows Noel Coward's emerging talents as a comic playwrite with all the elegant dialogue and unspoken tensions of his later pieces. Still Life, is the one act play which became the classic black and white 1940s film Brief Encounter. It tells the story of Alec and Laura - a pleasant, upstanding middle-aged couple both happily married, but facing the turmoil of a doomed love affair. Set entirely within a suburban railway tea room, Lighthouse Theatre's inventive adaptation features three multiple role-playing actors as the contrasting couples and supporting characters, alongside a live pianist who presents what Coward called the final character of the piece - the unforgettable strains of Rachmaninov's second piano concerto.Author Noel Coward. Performer Adrian Metcalfe (He - Mild Oats). Performer Llinos Daniel (She - Mild Oates). Performer Adrian Metcalfe (Alec / Albert - Still Life). Performer Sonia Beck (Laura / Mytle - Still Life).
