The Constituent

Until August 10, 2024

James Corden and Anna Maxwell Martin star in Joe Penhall's world premiere of The Constituent', directed by Matthew Warchus. Premiering at the Old Vic, the play explores politics, empathy, and safety in the world of local politicians. Corden portrays an ex-serviceman, while Maxwell Martin plays an opposition backbencher. Penhall cites his fascination with growing antipathy towards elected politicians as the inspiration behind The Constituent.

August 28 - October 26, 2024

James McArdle and Bel Powley star in a highly anticipated London revival of Tom Stoppard's play The Real Thing, headed up by Life of Pi director Max Webster! The Tony Award-winning play takes a dark and honest look at human relationships and the nature of fidelity and love, cleverly lightening the mood set by its more serious content with delightfully witty moments. Running from August to October at the Old Vic, the production's return to London comes a decade after a much lauded Broadway revival featuring Ewan MacGregor and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
