A pungent corrective to political pomposity and ambition.

Why See A View From Islington North?

PlaysCritics Picks

Five short plays; one hell of a political evening!

Max Stafford-Clark directs this ferocious new satirical anthology that lampoons the government; this is a set of five plays within a play that is sure to draw sharp breaths down at the Whitehall establishment, with each story written by some of the best talent in theatre including David Hare, Carys Churchill and Mark Ravenhill, to name just three. If you enjoy your polemical drama, this is one evening you'd be crazy to miss. Five plays for the price of one ticket!

What to expect

Alastair Beaton and Stella Feehily join forces to present two short plays;How To Get Ahead In Politics and The Accidental Leader, two provocative insights into the scheming and machinations that take place behind our political parties closed doors via their handlers and managers. Their second work, Mark Ravenhill's The Mother is a searing indictment on the cost of war as seen through the eyes of the mother of a British soldier stationed in the Middle East.

David Hare provides a damning indictment of the cult of the free market as if it were a religion, with a ghostly appearance to George Osborne by its chief priestess in Ayn Rand Takes A Stand, and Carys Churchill presents her new work Tickets Are Now On Sale, which provides an eye-opening and funny focus on language used in advertising.
