84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff and James Roose-Evans
18 to 23 May 2026
Evenings at 7:45pm.
2:30pm matinee on Saturday 23 May.
This wonderful play is a dramatisation of letters between Helene Hanff, a struggling writer in New York and Frank Doel of Marks & Co. an antiquarian book store in London. In a sense, these are also love letters. They are about the love of good literature. The play takes place over a 20-year period from 1949 to 1969, and charts historical events including the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and the rise of The Beatles through the correspondence between Helene and Frank, the delightfully dusty supplier of so many old volumes to Helene, who shows her gratitude through the years by sending “care packages” to the staff of Marks & Co.
Saturday Box Office at the Green Room: 11am to 12 noon on 25 April and 2, 9 and 16 May.
