Ronin Theatre: A Very Expensive Poison by Lucy Prebble
About Ronin Theatre: A Very Expensive Poison by Lucy Prebble
A Very Expensive Poison by Lucy Prebble based on the Guardian/Faber book by Luke Harding
How far will someone go to tell the truth? How far will others go to stop them?
One day a man walks into a hospital. His life will never be the same again. Because that man is Alexander Litvinenko.
In this darkly comic tale of Kremlin schemes and ruthless politicking, truth and justice come second in a game of radioactive global politics. Together the Litvinenkos tell us their story – one full of warmth, hope, comedy and tragedy.
