The Gang of Three
27 October to 31 October
About The Gang of Three
By Robert Khan and Tom Salinsky
Directed by Kirsty Patrick
Ward Deep in the heart of the corridors of power, the Labour Party’s Roy Jenkins, Denis Healey and Tony Crosland clash over the soul of British socialism and their own relentless ambitions.
Set against the backdrop of economic crisis, Robert Khan and Tom Salinsky’s acclaimed political drama brings to life the personalities, principles and private tensions that shaped a generation of politics.
Following a sell-out smash hit run in London, this play returns for a major national tour this autumn. A chance to revisit a defining moment in the battle for the soul of the Labour Party, which captures the towering intellects, fierce rivalries and the private tensions behind public power.
Sharp, provocative and richly entertaining, this is political theatre at its most gripping.
