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.
The Constituent, penned by Joe Penhall and directed by Matthew Warchus, delves into the tumultuous world of a local MP's office. Maxwell Martin portrays a dedicated opposition backbencher facing a crisis when confronted by an ex-serviceman, played by James Corden. Set against a backdrop of rising threats, the play questions the role of empathy in politics and the necessity of safety measures like stab vests in an open-door policy. Penhall's exploration of political antipathy, conceived four years ago, gains urgency amidst contemporary challenges, offering a poignant reflection on the state of governance.
