My theme is memory, that winged host? that soared about me one grey morning of wartime
Billeted to Brideshead during the Second World War, Captain Charles Ryder is overwhelmed by memories of his first youthful encounter with Brideshead Castle and its assortment of eccentric inhabitants
In acclaimed playwright Bryony Lavery's sparkling new re-imagining of the classic novel, past and the present blur as Charles recalls those heady days
Especially his enchantment with the beguiling Sebastian
And his beautiful sisters Julia, Cordelia and Bridey
And how they would change his life for ever
