“The New Year’s theme at the Daile Theater will begin with a witty show, in which many will be able to see the reflections of the life of today’s people, who want to publicly present their life a little more beautiful than they really are,” they explained the creators.
Five friends and a beautician they met the night before meet in an abandoned manor house to celebrate New Year’s Eve together. The manor has been beautifully restored and created as a retreat for those for whom the daily noise and bustle has become too much. Friends have not met for a long time, although they were once inseparable. Everyone tries to appear successful, even though life has thrown its own challenges. The writer Kate recently divorced her husband, the architect Daniel has achieved a lot of her in her career, but she is still looking for love on the Internet. Ben only met Laura the night before and brought her to her party as her girlfriend. Karl is an actor who everyone knows only for his role in a coffee commercial, but his wife Rebecca was once awarded the prestigious “BAFTA” award. Now their life revolves only around the two children they have in common. Partying and drinking together brings out everyone’s true dreams that have been pushed aside. Although everyone has their own experiences, they will also have to discover that a ghost really lives in the abandoned manor.
The comedy “New Year’s Retreat” (originally “The Priory”) received the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award in the category “Best New Comedy”.
