The Height of the Storm
by Florian Zeller
translated by Christopher Hampton
directed by Janis Stevens
An enduring love story.
A mysterious flower delivery.
A visitor from the past.
André and Madeleine have loved each other for decades. Their marriage has been their sanctuary, their safe haven at the center of life’s storm. When their daughters come to visit for the weekend they find that the foundation is slipping away. Nothing is as it seems as the layers of their lives are slowly peeled away. Florian Zeller’s intimate play explores the intricacies of family life, love and loss.
“I try to construct little labyrinths in which the audience member tries to find out where they are. You hunt down the truth, but as soon as you think you’re able to grab hold of it, it takes on another form and slips through your fingers … For me the theatre is above all the place for questions, not answers. For doubt more than certainty or conviction.” Florian Zeller
“The Height of the Storm” premiered in the UK in 2018 before transferring to Broadway in 2019. The production starred Jonathan Pryce and Eileen Atkins.
Black Point Theatre is proud to present the California premiere of this tender and poetic play.
