Description
This place is about to blow.
A violent storm sweeps the coast. Diana Stuckley and her daughter are struggling to keep the roof on their run-down manor house, when neighbours and strangers begin to appear on their doorstep, seeking shelter from the floods.
One of these unexpected arrivals is Ted Farrier, the charismatic leader of a right-wing organisation: he could be Diana's saviour - or could pull the fragile household to pieces.
Stranded together, this explosive mix of people must survive the weather, and each other.
Manor by Moira Buffini premiered at the National Theatre, London, in November 2021.
