Description
Touched by Stephen Lowe is a powerful drama about life in a working-class suburb of Nottingham during the closing days of World War II. Set against the backdrop of 1945, the play explores the fortunes of a group of women as they navigate the uncertain times following victory in Europe and before the final victory in Japan. First staged at Nottingham Playhouse in 1977, Touched was later transferred to the Royal Court, London, in 1981. The production was directed by Richard Eyre and marked an important moment in the play's development. This thought-provoking drama offers a unique perspective on life during a pivotal moment in history, shedding light on the experiences of ordinary people living through extraordinary times.
