Enjoy at the Gielgud Theatre

Event: Enjoy
Date: January 27th until May 2nd

Guests staying at the luxury London hotel the Chesterfield Mayfair next month can head to the Gielgud Theatre and watch a rarely-performed, but thoroughly entertaining, play.

Enjoy was penned nearly 30 years ago and takes place in Leeds, following the lives of an elderly couple residing in the city's last back-to-back property quite contently.

Around them, however, the world is changing and the area is slowly being demolished to usher in a new era.

Being no match for the bulldozers, Connie and Alfie are to be re-housed in a brand-new maisonette, complete with all the luxuries found in a modern dwelling.

Everything is proceeding nicely until a sociologist visits them to observe how they live their everyday lives, opening up a whole can of worms.

The couple's daughter drops a bombshell on them, Alfie finds himself on the receiving end of a beating from a yob and their ostracised gay son makes an unexpected return.

A satirical and dark look at the English way of life will be played out to audiences, who are sure to love the mix of farce and fun.

Couples enjoying a romantic break together can look forward to the treats offered by the Montague hotel's Mayfair Suites deal after the show.

A complimentary bottle of champagne will await them, along with a chocolates and fresh flowers to add the final touches to a weekend of love and affection.
