As part of the Finborough Theatre’s celebrations of Canada’s 150th birthday, Canadian playwright Jordan Tannahill, “the hottest name in Canadian theatre”, will debut his play, Late Company, at the Finborough Theatre, for a strictly limited season from 25 April – 20 May 2017.

Written with sensitivity and humour, Late Company explores restorative justice, cyber bullying, and the ever-changing complexities of parenthood in the 21st century. 

I attended the press day at the gorgeous The Ivy for an intimate lunch and meet and greet with the cast, director and production company. The 10 minutes I saw of the play set at a suburban dinner party one year after the death of a son was fantastic. It definitely left me wanting to see more. I also wanted to know more about 17 year-old Joel who commits suicide, his heartbroken mother and father, his so-called tormentor Curtis, and his parents.

The full cast for Late Company are: Todd Boyce (Michael), David Leopold (Curtis), Alex Lowe (Bill), Lucy Robinson (Debora) and Lisa Stevenson (Tamara). This production will be directed by Michael Yale, with set and costumes by Zahra Mansouri, lighting by Nic Farman and sound by Chris Prosho.

Keep an eye out for ONIN London’s full review after the show premiers.
