Paul Terry

Following in their tradition of presenting the classics, Pinter (No Man’s Land), Chekhov (Cherry Orchard, Troika) JB Priestley (An Inspector Calls), the Smoking Gun will present Terence Rattigan’s masterpiece: The Browning Version. Directed by William B Davis, the play is set in an English boarding school shortly after the second world war. In this, his second last day at the school, a brilliant scholar and unsuccessful teacher is forced to confront the failures of both his personal and professional lives. Something totally unexpected happens to give him a new sense of purpose and meaning. A tightly focused drama, surprising in its apparent simplicity. With Jack Rigg, John Prowse, Chris Walters, Martha Ansfield-Scrase, Kamil Whaley-Kalaora, Carter Dallman and Zoe Salvin.​​ Don't miss The Browning Version: Jericho Arts Centre from Oct 31 to Nov 15, 2026 Ticket on sale soon: williambdavis.com #theatredirector #vancouverevents #theatreproduction #theaterproduction #theatrecommunity #vancouvertheatre #acting #actors #williambdavis #thebrowningversion
