Details

Havel's version of John Gay's classic is slightly atypical in that there isn't a beggar in sight and that there are no songs. However, the play shares the gritty London setting of the original and deals with many of the same themes. The evening is in aid of writers in prison and the play will be introduced by Sir Tom Stoppard.
