From the writers of Tipping Point and This Christmas comes a new play, Life Class. Both amusing and poignant, the story follows artist Julien Valentine who, following the death of his husband, flees London for the tranquility of a Dorset village. Setting up an art class in the village hall, he is joined by four very different women, each looking knowingly and unknowingly for a chance to change their lives.
The opportunity to enter a national competition unites the women and slowly they become aware that their art sessions really do have the power for change.
