Brief Encounters, Festival Theatre, April 11 to October 23, Tonight at 8:30 Brief Encounters Still Life, We were dancing, hands accross the sea, Noel Coward, Jackie Maxwell, Director

"We’ve loved before and been happy
 before ... but this is different."

Repressed love after a chance meeting at a train station; flaming passion from a single dance across the floor; mistaken identity following a passing holiday acquaintance – three different stories inspired by three brief moments in time. Each story in Brief Encounters is a miniature delight only possible from the pen of Noël Coward.

“This is our first Coward trio, and probably the best known. Look for the connections, relish the differences and revel in the opportunity to watch our actors rise to the challenge of moving seamlessly from world to world to world – all in one evening.” Jackie Maxwell

Running time is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes with one intermission.
