Summary
"Deborah Bruce's play Raya is a drama about relationships, old flames, and whether or not we can ever turn the clocks back. It was first performed at Hampstead Theatre Downstairs, London, on 11 June 2021. The play opens in a student house in a city outside London. Alex and Jason, both 49, are old flames, but it has been thirty years since they last saw each other. With their carefree university days long behind them, the student reunion seems the perfect opportunity to reconnect, revive and relive their heyday. But as they flirt with reigniting their passion - even if just for one night - will the march of time get in the way? The premiere production was directed by Roxana Silbert and designed by Moi Tran. It was performed by Shannon Hayes, Bo Poraj, Claire Price, Elena Coleman and Ruby Woolfenden"--About the play.
