A tale of obsession and betrayal, Tomorrow in the Battle paints a searing portrait of loyalty and lust, honor and honesty, duty and desire as a group of London’s elite navigate their own professional and moral crises. Tomorrow in the Battle originally premiered at Stageworks/Hudson in 2012 and Samuel French published the play earlier this year. “A solemn erotic lyricism I haven’t seen since Damage.” Ben Brantley, The New York Times KIERON BARRY (Playwright) was born in Stratford-upon-Avon. Sixteen of his plays have been produced in the UK, US, Canada and South Africa. These include the verbatim drama Stockwell, which enjoyed two sell-out runs in London and was described by The Times in its five-star review as ‘more gripping than anything else to be seen in the London theatre.’ He is also the author of the one-act comedy Numbers which was described as ‘sharp and funny, terrifying and inspiring’ in Lucy Kerbel’s book 100 Great Plays For Women where it appeared alongside plays by Oscar Wilde, Tennessee Williams and Euripides. His other plays include Black Soap, Cumquats, The Problem Of Sex, Or: Why Are We In Afghanistan? and Lord Beckington (90) Reads From His Award-Winning Romantic Memoirs.
