On the longest day of the year …

At height of summer …

On the surface everything appears to be perfect in Edward and Flora’s life… But the presence of a supposedly innocent Matchseller, triggers a series of revelations, and their lives will never be the same again.

A Slight Ache, tells the story of an older couple living in a rural area, whose marriage is disrupted by an external force – a Matchseller.  The Matchseller’s presence once invited into their home, slowly, silently, contributes to the marriage’s demise.  

A team of seasoned Derbyshire actors bring this funny, disturbing, and powerful play to the stage, beautifully celebrating Pinter’s fascination with the interloper.
