"A work of subtlety and sophistication.
The Pride grabs you with it's considerable intelligence and heart."
- Entertainment Weekly
Oliver, Philip, and Sylvia are caught in a kind of erotic time warp. Their complex love triangle, replete with conflicting loyalties and passions, jumps from 1958 to the present and back in a maelstrom of fantasy, repression and rebellion in this innovative new drama. After taking London by storm in an Olivier Award-winning production at the Royal Court, The Pride now makes its US West Coast premiere in an all-new production at NCTC.
NCTC's OnStage Insight series brings the director and the cast of The Pride back to the stage after the performance to discuss the play and take questions from the audience about the entire creative process. All are welcome!
