Tom and Viv

A new edition of Tom and Viv, coinciding with the 2006 production at the Almeida Theatre, London.

It is Cambridge, 1915, and Tom, and awkward American graduate, meets Viv. Enchanted with each other, the couple are sucked into a whirlwind romance, but as Tom begins to become successful in the field of literature, Viv's volatility becomes a problem rather than a quirk. Their swift marriage turns into an impossible love story.

Tom and Viv explores the complex relationship between T.S Eliot and his wife, Vivienne. It premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in 1984,and was made into a major motion picture starring William Defoe and Miranda Richardson in 1994.
