Mr Loverman
Description
Barrington Walker will tell you he has everything he could possibly want. Dapper, charming and respected in his Hackney community, Barry is a husband, father and grandfather. But behind this outwardly settled life is a truth he has never managed to share: for the last 60 years, he has been in a secret relationship with his best friend, Morris. Natasha Gordon’s funny and tender stage adaptation of Bernardine Evaristo’s acclaimed novel follows Barry and Morris across six decades, from Antigua to modern-day London. It is a story of love, family and the difficult, liberating choice to finally live honestly and choose yourself. Danny Sapani plays Barrington, with Gary Beadle as Morris, in a production directed by Paulette Randall MBE. Mr Loverman is presented at the Lyttelton Theatre at the National Theatre in London.
