Kyra is surprised to see the son of her former lover at her apartment in a London slum; he hopes she will be reconciled with his distraught, now widowed father. Tom, a restless, self-made restaurant tycoon, arrives later that evening, unaware of his son's visit and aghast at Kyra's new vocation teaching underprivileged children. Is the gap between Tom and Kyra unbridgeable, or can they resurrect their once passionate relationship?

Skylight premiered at the National Theatre and won the Guardian's coveted Best New Play award.

'Luminously beautiful and wildly truthful, Skylight is deeply and truly about people... it is a fascinating play'. N.Y. Post
'Undogmatic and unafraid, unforgiving but compassionate'. Sunday Times
