On the longest day of the year … At the height of summer …
On the surface everything appears to be perfect in Edward and Flora’s life… But the presence of a supposedly innocent match seller, triggers a series of revelations, and their lives will never be the same again.
A Slight Ache, tells the story of an older couple living in a rural area, whose marriage is disrupted by an external force - a match seller. The match seller's presence once invited into their home, slowly, silently, contributes to the marriage's demise.
The play is 1 hour, performed in the round, followed by a Q&A session with Ava Hunt.

After a distinguished career spanning decades, Maggie Ford, a revered actor based in Derbyshire, is set to make a triumphant return to the stage at the age of 84 (see http://www.springrites.co.uk/about-maggie-ford/). This team of seasoned Derbyshire actors bring this funny, disturbing, and powerful play to the floor, beautifully celebrating Pinter’s fascination with the interloper.
