Synopsis: David Freeman, a Professor of Philosophy about to reach fifty, is tired of life. His only desire now is to control the timing and manner of his death. His plans for 'self-deliverance', however, are disrupted by the earthly demands of people around him. Alone at last he carries out his plan, but is saved by the college electrician. Returning from hospital, David hears news that may change his mind - yet ultimately the vagaries of chance would have it otherwise | ||||

Synopsis: It's 1956, and Philip Larkin, one of England's most famous post-war writers, has just arrived in Hull as the University Librarian. Over the next thirty years, his life there will be dominated by three women. In this funny and touching new play, we see behind the façade of 'the Bard of Humberside' and into his complex private life. | ||||
