Greene’s iconic novel of obsession. A passionate affair is set against the backdrop of the London Blitz. The End of the Affair is about the impossibility of knowing someone, the ways we order our morality, and the pacts we make with chimeras.
Boos’ world premiere adaptations have included The Human Chair, The Red Shoes, and The Howling Miller. Giles' sensitive direction created last season's When the Rain Stops Falling.
Watch love burn.
