REVIEW: And Then Come The Nightjars, Theatre 503 ✭✭✭✭

And Then Come The Nightjars by Bea Roberts

We encounter rural Britain more frequently through soaps – Emmerdale and The Archers – than on the stage. This is a missed opportunity for writers and for this reason alone this new play by Bea Roberts is a welcome and unusual joint-winner of the first Theatre 503 Writing Award. This month it receives a run in London before heading off to the Bristol Old Vic, which co-sponsors the production.
