‘Another incredible show #HelloGoodbye Downstairs at Hamps_Theatre which seems impossible to disappoint at the moment. Stellar show after show’ @flamester

Juliet – young, smart and sassy – has got herself a fresh start in a new flat.

But there’s a problem.

Amidst the boxes, a strange guy is also moving in – and he won’t leave… He says the agency has fouled up and her flat is actually his flat.

And as if that’s not enough, the real problem is that, well, he’s actually rather sexy…

Hampstead Downstairs is proud to introduce a new voice to the stage in Peter Souter. His sophisticated and fresh comedy is a modern metropolitan guide to falling in (and out of) love.

Hello / Goodbye is Peter’s stage debut following several popular BBC Radio Four plays including Goldfish Girl and Puddle. He is the creator of the ITV series Married Single Other and co-wrote the first episode, Deep & Crisp & Even starring Timothy Spall and Natascha McElhone, for the 10 Minute Tales.

Tamara Harvey returns to Hampstead Downstairs following Blue Heart Afternoon by Nigel Gearing in 2011. Her numerous theatre credits include Educating Rita (Meiner Chocolate Factory / UK Tour), the critically acclaimed The Kitchen Sink and Sixty-Six Books (Bush Theatre), Whipping It Up (West End) and the hit musical Tell Me On A Sunday by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black (UK Tour).

“A really satisfying, sexy, funny, romantic and very-clever-indeed puzzle of a play “ Richard Curtis (writer of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill and Love Actually)

Running time is approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes (including a 20 minute interval)
