"The last word from one of Britain's greatest dramatists, The Last Cigarette is a ground-breaking new production adapted by Hugh Whitemore and Simon Gray from Simon Gray's literary masterpiece The Smoking Diaries."

"For the 2009 run, Richard Eyre directs a star cast Jasper Britton, Felicity Kendal and Nicholas Le Prevost in this heart-stopping and critically acclaimed production that is an unmissable theatrical event. Sardonic, humane, intelligent and often outrageously funny, it was completed just before the author's death last summer."
