Proscenium presents The Height of the Storm, an emotionally intense and beautifully elusive story of André and Madeleine who have been in love for over fifty years. One weekend, as their daughters visit, something feels unusual. An anonymous bunch of flowers arrives. A woman from the past turns up, but who is she? And why does André feel like he isn’t there at all?
Reality shifts as the play reveals itself - the only certainty is the love between André and Madeleine.
The Times described the West End’s 2018 production, starring Jonathan Pryce and Eileen Atkins, as ‘Deeply moving. A play that takes us to the edge of what it is to love’. Written by Florian Zeller, and translated by Christopher Hampton, Zeller’s other plays include The Father, which was recently turned into a well-reviewed film with Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman.
