Details

A real-time play for theatre and television. Set in the final ninety minutes of polling day 2015, live and in real time, The Vote will be an unprecedented national television event. Following their celebrated collaboration on Privacy, James Graham and Josie Rourke reunite to bring you The Vote, a unique drama, marking a national event, as it happens, live and in real-time. This live television event will take place on 7 May - broadcast on More4 at the precise time and date on which the play is set. Tickets for the limited run at the Donmar (24 April - 7 May) will be available via a ballot, details of which will be published separately. Tickets will be available via a ballot from Monday 30 March at 10am. (The play will also be broadcast live and in real time on TV on More4 on the night of the general election, 7 May 2015 at 8:30-10pm - taking the play directly into living rooms around the UK at exactly the same time as the action is set. )
