Bill Nighy, Carey Mulligan and Matthew Beard star in the new production of David Hare's Skylight directed by Stephen Daldry, which opened at Wyndham's Theatre on 18 June 2014. The play, which has a limited run to 23 August, first ran at the National Theatre in 1995 before being revived in 1997 at the Vaudeville Theatre.
It tells the story of a schoolteacher, Kyra Hollis (played by Carey Mulligan), who one night receives an unexpected visit from her former lover Tom (played by Nighy) and his son Edward (played by Matthew Beard).
Matthew Beard makes his stage debut in Skylight. His film credits include And When Did you Last See Your Father?, An Education opposite Carey Mulligan and One Day, Chat Room and The Look of Love. Later this year he will be seen in the film adaptation of Laura Wade's Posh, as well as The Imitation Game and Singularity.
