The Camden Climax - A Play - 23rd & 24th August
2025-08-23 - 2025-08-24 | Digby Fine English, 55-57 High Street, Arundel, BN18 9AJ, United Kingdom
The Camden Climax is set to be performed this August during the Arundel Festival.
This play marks the final instalment in a trilogy written by Dr Justine Hextall and Julie Markey. The journey began with Broca’s Area, a play exploring the breakdown of a marriage between a cardiologist and his physician wife. Told through a cleverly interwoven dual narrative, the audience was invited to promenade through the performance space, experiencing both perspectives in an immersive way.
Their second play, La Vie En Rose, reimagined the same characters a year later, grappling with the fallout of an affair and professional upheaval. As the curtain fell, Roger and Fiona were bound for Paris — but was it truly La Belle Vie, or would the weight of their past prove too much to leave behind?
Now, in the concluding chapter, The Camden Climax, we meet them once again. Will they be joyfully celebrating 25 years together, or has life turned out to be a little more complicated?
We do hope that you will join us for what promises to be a powerful and thought-provoking performance.
We are deeply grateful that all proceeds are to be donated to The Sussex Snowdrop Trust.

This year’s theme is “Temptation,” promising a captivating evening. The event will take place on Wednesday, August 20th, at The Studio, 40 Tarrant Street, Arundel. Doors open at 7:00pm for a 7:30pm start.
