Coward StudioIt’s 1988. The lawns are perfectly mowed, the gin is poured, and Tory MP Robin Hesketh has returned home to the Cotswolds for the weekend. His wife Diana has been waiting. And she’s not in the mood for small talk.As the couple spar over dinner, drinks, and decades of buried resentment, polite conversation gives way to political clash, personal betrayal, and the raw cost of loyalty — both public and private. With razor-sharp wit and emotional depth, Hansard is a gripping two-hander that explores love, loss, and the irreparable rifts in both a marriage and a nation.Estimated running time approximately 1 hour 30 minutes, no interval
