Oliver Cotton

Oliver Cotton is a British stage and screen actor, well known for his work on stage, TV and film. In this, his first published stage play, Cotton draws on his own experience as he presents two actors – one English, the other American – marooned on location miles from anywhere, confined in their tiny dressing space by the unrelenting rain. Growing increasingly frustrated, they engage in a magnificently sustained verbal duel, a love-hate clash of cultures, countries and personalities.

Daytona

Oliver Cotton

‘See the ripples? You’re underneath. Your body’s under those ripples.’ Brooklyn 1986. Joe & Elli have entered a major ballroom dancing competition. They have practised hard and hope to win – but their plans are jeopardised when the unexpected arrival of a figure from their past confronts them with a profound moral dilemma. Haunting, funny and poignant, Daytona is a play with two love stories at its heart.
