Second Best
Sex Education's Asa Butterfield makes his stage debut in Second Best, a playful yet poignant new comedy about fate, near- misses and the winding paths life takes.
It explores the ache of almost touching greatness and the humour and hope that come when dreams remain just out of reach.
At ten years old, Martin Hill was on the brink of stardom, down to the final two contenders for the role of Harry Potter but narrowly missing out.
Now an adult, Martin is about to embark on the ultimate adventure – fatherhood.
As he navigates this whirlwind of emotions, he is pulled back to that pivotal moment in his past as he struggled to move beyond imagining what his life might have been.
A story about the tender moments that shape us, Second Best is for anyone who has ever wondered about the road not taken, and whether the other life would have been as glittering as it looks.
