National Theatre Live: Mr Loverman (2027)

Plot Summary

Barrington Walker will tell you he has everything he could possibly want. Dapper and full of charm, he's a husband, father, grandfather, and a man of standing in his Hackney community. But Barry is also carrying a truth he has never managed to share...for the last 60 years he's been in a secret relationship with his best friend Morris. A story of love, family, and what it means to finally choose yourself, Mr Loverman spans six decades of life from Antigua to modern-day London. Danny Sapani is Barrington and Gary Beadle is Morris in Natasha Gordon's funny and tender adaptation of Bernardine Evaristo's acclaimed novel, directed by Paulette Randall MBE.
