A play about Benjamin Britten and his friendship with WH Auden and Peter Pears



Drawn from the life of Benjamin Britten and informed by many personal interviews with the composer's friends including his sister Beth, this play explores the conflict between his association with WH Auden and his partnership with Peter Pears, culminating in the triumphant premiere of Peter Grimes in 1945.

Once in a While The Odd Things Happened premiered at the Cottesloe in 1990.

Paul Godfrey's work includes Inventing a New Colour (Royal Court, 1988); Once in a While the Odd Thing Happens (Royal National Theatre); A Bucket of Eels (RSC Festival 1994); The Panic (ROH Garden Venture, 1991); and The Modern Husband (Actors Touring Company).
