Research
The Southbury Child is the second of Stephen Beresford’s plays to be set in Dartmouth, on the South Devon coast. His first, The Last of the Haussmans (@nationaltheatre) dealt with a family in disarray, clinging to nostalgia, and a disintegrating political philosophy 🏡 pic.twitter.com/MFoXb8iIPD

A gorgeous afternoon spent talking shop with Stephen Beresford, Nick Hytner and the cast of Stephen’s wonderful new play #TheSouthburyChild. It’s about a vicar who gets unstuck when a mother who has lost a child wants a funeral he cannot agree to. Heartbreaking, funny, profound. pic.twitter.com/ErVygckjNk
