Penelope Skinner’s hilarious and heartfelt new play, Lyonesse is now playing for a strictly limited run at the Harold Pinter Theatre.

No one knows why Elaine, an extremely talented yet highly reclusive, disappears. She is known to shy away from the public spotlight, but her latest adventure into obscurity is shrouded in mysterious circumstances. 30 years later, the actor steps out of the shadows and reveals herself to Kate, a young film executive. She is finally ready to tell her story.

However, when the pair confine in Elaine’s remote Cornish home to assist with the actor’s glorious comeback, other questions are raised and ruminated. It’s Elaine’s story to tell, but who really controls it? The recipient or the storyteller? Will these women own their narrative, or will it be swept away from them at any given moment?

Reuniting after previously working together on films Darkest Hour and Rebecca, Kristin Scott Thomas (Mission: Impossible, Gosford Park) plays Elaine, alongside Lily James (Cinderella, Pam & Tommy) as Kate.
