Four Minutes Twelve Seconds Transfers To Trafalgar Studios

Following an acclaimed season at the Hampstead Downstairs last year, James Fritz's Olivier nominated debut play Four Minutes Twelve Seconds will transfer to the Trafalgar Studios this November.

Seventeen year old Jack is the apple of his mother’s eye. Di and David have devoted their whole lives to giving him every opportunity they never had. But a startling incident outside the school gates threatens to ruin everything they’ve strived for - an incident that suggests a deep hatred of their son. As events develop, they struggle to find answers, doubting Jack’s friends, Jack himself and ultimately themselves. Who can they trust as faith in their son’s innocence begins to crumble?

In a world where smartphones are ubiquitous, James Fritz’s deeply provocative and desperately relevant drama throws light on the insidious opportunities new technology offers – where nothing dies online, except reputation.

The cast from the Hampstead Downstairs production will be reprising their roles at Trafalgar Studios: Kate Maravan (Broken News, New Tricks) wil play Di, Ria Zmitrowicz (Arcadia - English Touring Theatre) will play Cara and Jonathan McGuinness (BBC Wolf Hall) will play David.

Four Minutes Twelve Seconds will be directed by award-winning director Anna Ledwich.

Four Minutes Twelve Seconds runs at Trafalgar Studios from 10 November - 5 December 2015
