Description:

England, 1945. The lives of two strangers are changed forever by a chance meeting at a railway station. But this isn't Brief Encounter... We're all extras in the lives of others, but the stars of our own. What happens when you pan the camera away from the leading players? Mark Kydd’s new solo show turns the spotlight onto a supporting artist with his own surprising tale of first, forbidden love. In the year of Brief Encounter's 80th anniversary, Our Martin in the Background is the queer love story Noël Coward didn't write.
