Canary, a new play by Jonathan Harvey, is a hard-hitting tale of forbidden love that could tear families and lives apart. Set in Liverpool and London across five decades, Canary is a tragic, comic and surreal exploration of the changing attitudes towards homosexuality in contemporary Britain.

Playwright Harvey is the author of the award-winning play Beautiful Thing, who has also written for television’s Gimme Gimme Gimme and Coronation Street.

Canary is directed by Hettie MacDonald, who also directed Beautiful Thing on stage and film.
