The first major revival of Julian Mitchell's award-winning play Another Country can be seen at the Oxford Playhouse until September 16, before going on to a West End run.

This play created a sensation when it opened in the West End 20 years ago and heralded a resurgence of great British drama, launching the careers of Rupert Everett, Kenneth Branagh, Daniel Day Lewis and Colin Firth in the process.

The Oxford Playhouse is the only regional theatre to stage this new production before its West End debut. It stars Tom Wisdomwell-known as heartthrob hairdresser Tom Ferguson in Coronation Street Patrick Ryecart, Alex Avery, Jamie de Courcey, William Green, Martin Hutson, Neil Jones, Ben Meyjes, Edward Purver and Ferdy Roberts.

Another Country is the story of two idealistic, rebellious students in an elite public school during the thirties who shake the school to its foundations as they struggle against their own oppressions.
