Remembrance Monday Tickets

The brilliant Remembrance Monday enjoys an exclusive World Premiere at Seven Dials Playhouse, written by the critically acclaimed playwright Michael Batten (Self Tape) and directed by Alan Souza (Beauty and the Beast, Oliver!).

Julius and Connor are the perfect husbands, the men with everything. They have a fabulous flat, amazing careers and beautiful bodies. The only thing they’re missing is the signature dog. But when Julius experiences flickering moments and distorted memories from a particular Monday night reality begins to bend, revealing terrifying truths to both men.

How reliable is memory?

Themes of memory and shared memories are woven throughout the plot, examining the way a couple’s views of the exact same event can be dramatically different. And how one moment, when viewed again and again and again, can so easily morph. Ultimately we’re left wondering whether we really are made up of every memory we make.

Michael Batten is an actor, dancer and playwright whose self penned one man play Self Tape - in which he starred - won an OFFIE nomination for Best Solo Performance. His other plays include Tickety Boo and Finding Mum.
