Small Change
by Peter Gill
Donmar Warehouse
Donmar Warehouse, 10 April 2008
Set on the east side of Cardiff in the 1950s, Peter Gill’s intoxicating and evocative masterpiece recalls the friendship between two boys and the relationship with their mothers, and the tragedy of the things that go unsaid and are forever unresolved.
Widely regarded as his finest play, Peter Gill returns to the Donmar to direct the first London production of Small Change in over a quarter of a century.
The performance lasts approximately 1 house and 55 minutes including a 15-minute interval.
Small Change was first presented at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in July 1976
