Father-to-be Vincent and his partner Anna are invited to dinner by his sister Elizabeth and her husband, Peter. They are joined by childhood friend Carl for a mature and sophisticated gathering.
A breathtakingly funny 90 minutes- Sunday Times
Utterly hilarious- Broadway World
The meal is lovingly prepared, and wine carefully selected. The friends are prepared for the usual humorous exchanges they've come to expect.
But tonight, a startling revelation about the name chosen for Vincent and Anna’s expected child becomes the catalyst for a destructive argument which spirals hysterically out of control. Tonight no one is holding back! Egos, childish resentment and unspoken feelings are relentlessly and hilariously exposed for the first time.
This comic masterpiece is adapted by British theatre director, writer and translator Jeremy Sams from award-winning French film and stage sensation Le Prénom, this international smash hit has played over 30 countries and is now on its first ever UK tour.
Join Inbetweeners star Joe Thomas and his co-stars from What’s In A Name? for a free Q & A event* in our Circle 1 bar area after the 7.30pm performance on Wed 23 Oct.
This is a rare chance to grab a drink with Joe and the cast, and find out the answers to those burning questions about the show, the tour and the world of theatre!
*There is no charge for attending this Q & A event but ticketholders must have a valid ticket for What’s In A Name? at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre on Wed 23 Oct 2019. The bar will be open for customers to purchase a post-show drink should they wish to.
