while we wait

A man who is experiencing life in slow motion falls for a woman whose life is speeding by. Can their love survive when time is not on their side?

While We Wait is a 'hilarious and heartbreaking' new play from the writer of one of The Old Red Lion’s most popular productions, The Picture of John Gray. 

Starring award-winning film actress Kirsten Callaghan and Mischief Theatre's Ricky Oakley, and directed by west-end director Scott Le Crass. 

This is Craig “Doe” Wilmann’s first stage-play since the critically acclaimed The Picture of John Gray, which had a sold-out four-week run at The Old Red Lion in 2014.
