Synopsis
From one of Britain’s most beloved writers, Tim Firth (Calendar Girls, The Band, Our House), Neville’s Island is the hilarious and often surprising story of four businessmen on the team building exercise from hell.
Neville, Angus, Gordon and Roy have unwittingly found themselves shipwrecked with barely a sausage between them. As the night gets cold and the karaoke ferry sails past, the battle for survival begins and these middle managers discover how little they really know about themselves and each other.
It’s like The Apprentice, on an island in the Lake District with middle aged blokes who think they’re Bear Grylls.
“Like Firth's playwrighting mentor Alan Ayckbourn, it's a play that offers a recognisable set of superbly written characters who are propelled into an extraordinary situation, and that isn't afraid to go to some dark, scary places.” – London Theatre
