Eclipse

In the kitchen of an old Devon rectory, the daughter who stayed and the son who moved away make conversation with their current and former partners, the milkman, the postman, the care workers. They talk about the weather, the roads, the toaster, the bins. About anything except the simmering tensions between them, as their father lies mortally ill in the next room. Until the unspoken emotions and conflicts of years boil over. Eclipse is a painfully funny, acute and delicate play about our struggle to communicate, in the face of life and of death. And our infinite capacity for drinking tea. John Morton's award-winning TV series include People Like Us, Twenty Twenty Six, Twenty Twelve and W1A; this is his first stage play. It premieres at Chichester Festival Theatre, in the Minerva Theatre, in 2026.
