The Gap delves into the audacious adventures of Walter and Corral. He's back up north, she's still down south. They haven't seen each other for fifty years, not since their Soho days, back in the swinging '60s. A chance phone call reunites them for one magical night and in next to no time, they're back to their old tricks.

The production is directed by Anthony Banks with set design consultancy by Andrzej Goulding, costume design by Susan Kulkarni, lighting design by Jamie Platt, sound design by Ben & Max Ringham, video design by Sam Diaz, movement direction by Arielle Smith, wig design by Gilly Church and production management by James Anderton. 

Runs until 16 March 2024.
