Carey Mulligan and Bill Nighy star in the accalimed new production of David's Hare's Skylight directed by Stephen Daldry at the Wyndhams Theatre.
Skylight is set on a bitterly cold London evening. Schoolteacher Kyra Hollis receives an unexpected visit from her former lover, Tom Sergeant, a successful and charismatic restaurateur whose wife has recently died. As the evening progresses, the two attempt to rekindle their once passionate relationship only to find themselves locked in a dangerous battle of opposing ideologies and mutual desires.
