Audiences react to Accolade by Emlyn Williams

Audiences at Theatre Royal Windsor react to the first play in Sean Mathias' fourth season as artistic director...
Step into the vibrant world of London’s intellectual elite, where the price of success is often too high to pay...
Recently knighted author Sir Will Trenting appears to have it all - a stellar career, a Nobel Prize and the perfect family.
But when a scandal from his secret past is threatened to be exposed, the harsh realities of success draws him and everyone he knows into a dark and chilling trial-by-media, facing the double standards of a society bent on destroying him.
With razor-sharp dialogue, poignant moments, and unexpected twists at every turn, Accolade grips your heart and mind, forcing you to examine the fine line between truth and lies.
Originally written in the 1950s, Emlyn Williams’ play remains remarkably relevant nearly 75 years after its debut.
Directed by Sean Mathias - previous productions include Frank and Percy, The Cherry Orchard, Alone Together and the recently filmed adaptation of Hamlet starring Ian McKellen.
