From This Day Forward by Nicolas Ridley

Set in an alternate reality, 3 couples meet in a state-run facility and have just a few hours to make a life-changing decision - should they stay married or part? But can happiness really be mandated by the government? And how can laws and regulations make sense of the chaos of love and attraction? As the night gives way to morning, they are forced to decide.

Both fantastical but all too believable, From This Day Forward explores the nature of the married state and the rules that govern it. Will you guess which marriage survives?

Nicolas Ridley’s plays have been performed throughout the UK and in Ireland, Belgium, Australia and the USA. In Plain Sightand Friendly Bombs were staged at the OSO by Rare Fortune Productions. And Misconnections, his trio of short plays, at The White Bear, Kennington, in 2022.

Rare Fortune Productions return to the OSO with their repertory company of professional actors and the same creative team who brought you Life Changes by Carolyn Pertwee and Murder by the Book by Robin Miller.

That most recent sell out show was a hit with audiences including Gyles Brandreth:

“What a treat! Just in from a gloriously entertaining locked room murder mystery - beautifully constructed, deliciously witty, wonderfully played.”
