"I make myself remember. I am afraid of forgetting. I will have to forget if I

want to go on living."

California, 1962. College professor George is grieving the death of his long-term

partner Jim. As a middle-aged gay Englishman living in the Los Angeles

suburbs, he is an outsider in every way. Haunted by his past and unable to

move forward, we follow him on one very ordinary day. But for George, this is

going to be a day like no other...

A Single Man features in the Guardian's 100 Best Novels Written in English,

where it is described as 'a work of compressed brilliance.' Known to many

through Tom Ford's film, Christopher Isherwood's masterpiece is now given

a wry and compassionate retelling in Simon Reade's new adaptation for the

stage.

Powerful and sexy, A Single Man is a darkly amusing study of grief, love and

loneliness from the celebrated writer of Goodbye to Berlin, the inspiration for

Cabaret.
