It’s not just the British weather that’s getting Ben Butley down. In the hotly-anticipated return of Simon Grey’s blacker-than-black comedy, the brilliant and self-destructive professor is deserted by his wife and male lover – all on the same afternoon. Broadway favourite Nathan Lane takes the title role as the compulsive, uproarious Butley as he grapples with university politics, dissenting students and his own disintegrating life. His fight to keep his sense of humour and sanity has led to the character being called “one of theatre’s great tragicomic roles”. Expect plenty of acid wit; this is an absorbing, intelligent show with a dramatic punch to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Butley was first launched on Broadway in 1972, where a version directed by Harold Pinter received an enthusiastic critical reception. For your chance to see this gem of comedic theatre, pick up Butley tickets from ZippyTickets now!
