Be Near Me at the Donmar Warehouse

Event: Be Near Me
Date: January 22nd until March 14th

The grass is always greener on the other side, as the saying goes, but Ian McDiarmid's stage adaptation of Andrew O'Hagan's novel Be Near Me will show how too much can leave one's life shattered into little pieces.

Visitors from near and far will descend on the capital for this captivating production, meaning accommodation will be in high demand.

By booking a suite at the luxury London hotel the 41, those planning on watching the show can do so safe in the knowledge they have a comfortable and warm place to return to once the show has finished.

The Go See London package will provide guests with a continental breakfast in the morning, a cocktail on arrival, sightseeing tour tickets, and, for after the show, an aromatherapy kit to usher in a period of relaxation and tranquillity.

Prior to that however, the tale of the Oxford-educated Catholic priest Father David Anderton must be told.

The clergyman is assigned to a new parish in a dispirited and disillusioned Scottish town on the Ayrshire coast, where sectarianism fills the air.

Down and unhappy, Father David drifts further away from his religious peers and befriends a troubled teenage couple by the names of Mark and Lisa.

They soon introduce him to a world of excessive alcohol and recreational drugs, which injects new life into the priest.

However, his desperate attempt to escape the mundane leaves him a shattered man.
