"For 2016, English Touring Theatre and York Theatre Royal present the first large-scale stage adaptation of the classic novel in a sparkling new reimagining by Tony Award® nominee Bryony Lavery.

It's 1943. Finding himself in familiar territory within the English countryside, Charles Ryder confronts memories of his first youthful encounter with Brideshead Castle and its assortment of eccentric inhabitants.

In this elegant, evocative and vivid adaptation of the much-loved story, past and present blur as Charles recalls those heady days with Lord and Lady Marchmain along with their offspring: Julia, Cordelia and Sebastian Flyte."
