He is applauded as a genius for his sharp character observations and treasured for the way he beautifully balances wit\, wistfulness and compassion. \nIn The Habit of Art\, Bennett gives us a play about a meeting between the poet WH Auden and the composer Benjamin Britten. \nExploring friendship\, rivalry and heartache this multi layered masterpiece examines the joy\, pain and emotional cost of creativity. \nThis production directed by Philip Franks marks the first ever revival of the play and stars the Olivier Award winning Matthew Kelly (Of Mice and Men\, Toast and Pride and Prejudice) as Fitz (W. H. Auden) and David Yelland (Chariots of Fire and The Crown) as Henry (Benjamin Britten). Veronica Roberts will be joining the cast in the role of Kay\, the Stage Manager. Robert Mountford plays the Author\, Neil. John Wark will play Donald (Humphrey Carpenter). Alexandra Guelff plays the role of George\, the Assistant Stage Manager. Benjamin Chandler has been cast as Tim (Stuart). \n★★★★★ Broadway World \n★★★★ The Times \n★★★★ Libby Purves\, theatreCat.com \n★★★★ “Deeply moving.” The Guardian \n“Hilariously provocative.” The Independent \nAges 14+: strong language/adult themes \n  \nProduction Photographs by Helen Maybanks \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Habit of Art\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Habit of Art\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Habit of Art\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Habit of Art\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Habit of Art\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Habit of Art\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Habit of Art\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Habit of Art\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Habit of Art\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Habit of Art\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Habit of Art\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Habit of Art\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Habit of Art\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Habit of Art\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Habit of Art\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n  \n \nTicket price includes a £1 contribution to our heritage fund.\n URL:https://www.malvern-theatres.co.uk/whats-on/the-habit-of-art/ LOCATION:Grange Road\, Malvern\, WR14 3HB GEO:52.1103165;-2.3274728 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Grange Road Malvern WR14 3HB;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Grange Road:geo:-2.3274728,52.1103165 CATEGORIES:Plays ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.malvern-theatres.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Habit-of-Art.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
