Lingua Franca - Finborough Theatre
Sound Designer - ingua Franca follows innocent abroad Steven Flowers as he quits National Service in South-East Asia to forge a new life as an English teacher in 1950s Florence.
He finds himself working for a chaotically-run language school, together with a cosmopolitan muddle of foreign misfits, as they kill their post-war nihilism to high comic effect.
Inspired by Peter Nichols’ own experiences and based around a leading character in his acclaimed work Privates on Parade, Lingua Franca is both a damning indictment and a celebration of lapsed ethics, loose morals and one-night-stands.
Playwright Peter Nichols is the author of some of the most enduring British plays of the last four decades including A Day in the Death of Joe Egg, Passion Play, Privates on Parade, The Freeway, The National Health, Forget-Me-Not-Lane, Chez Nous, Born in the Gardens and A Piece of My Mind. He has been awarded four Evening Standard Awards, an Olivier Award for Best Comedy and two Ivor Novello Awards for Best Musical.
