Booking to 16 July 2022
A slippery new thriller in which nothing is as it seems and nobody is who they are.
“This work genuinely has the capacity to change everything.” Playwright Dennis Kelly
“It is a play of rare political urgency, savage wit and real compassion and wisdom. It is a play that defines this country as it blinks its way out of the pandemic and into a chilling new world. It is, I think, a startlingly significant piece of work.”
Playwright Simon Stephens
“I looked up after reading the play and felt like the world had changed. Everything looked different. People need to see this.” Playwright Laura Wade
The Royal Court presents the debut play of ‘Dave Davidson’ a conspiratorial thriller in the age of government surveillance.
