Event location: Theatre Royal Haymarket. Ongoing event.
Jonathan Church's world premiere production of Taken At Midnight, a new play by Mark Hayhurst, will run here for a limited season of 8 weeks from January 15th. Returning to the West End after a five-year absence, Penelope Wilton reprises her role as Irmgard in this production which is currently enjoying a sold-out season in Chichester.
Last seen in the West End opposite Jude Law's Hamlet in 2009, Penelope Wilton originates the role of Irmgard, the mother of celebrated lawyer Hans Litten who puts Hitler on the witness stand in 1930s Germany with devastating consequences.
In Taken At Midnight, his theatre debut, Hayhurst casts light on a universal theme as the mother of brilliant German Jewish lawyer Hans Litten fights for his release against the seemingly impossible might of the Nazi regime. Fearless and indomitable she confronts his captors at enormous personal risk. The unquestionable love of a mother for her son is put centre stage in Hayhurst's study of the horrors of pre-war Nazi Germany.
