1979. The winter of discontent is over and Margaret Thatcher's regime is about to transform the country. Old friends come together in a Kilburn bedsit for a drunken celebration of their mutual affection.
Mike Leigh's play Ecstasy was first staged at Hampstead Theatre, London, in 1979, with a cast including Julie Walters, Stephen Rea and Jim Broadbent.
It was revived at Hampstead Theatre in 2011 in a production directed by Mike Leigh, marking the first time the award-winning author and director returned to one of his past plays.
REVIEWS:
"Mike Leigh has a wonderful gift for conversation so rock-bottom-boring that it is hilarious."
The Guardian
"Heartbreak exists a hair's breadth away from hilarity... Ecstasy delivers on its name."
The New York Times
