From the writer of The Crown

BAFTA-winning actor Tom Hollander (White Lotus, The Night Manager) gives “one of the performances of the year” (Independent) as Berezovsky, the ‘kingmaker’ behind Vladimir Putin.

A new play from Peter Morgan (Netflix’s The Crown, Frost/Nixon) and directed by Almeida Artistic Director Rupert Goold(Ink, Spring Awakening), Patriots is an unflinching story of ambition and the dangers of loyalty and love. Don’t miss the West End transfer of this smash-hit production, coming to London’s Noel Coward Theatre in 2023.

Reprising their roles for the West End transfer will be Tom Hollander playing Boris Berezovsky, a one-time ally of Vladimir Putin, alongside Will Keen, 2023 Olivier Award winner for his role as Vladimir Putin, and Luke Thallon as former Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich.

Patriots will run from 26 May to 19 August 2023 at the Noel Coward Theatre in London.

1991. The Fall of the Soviet Union. 

With the dawning of a new Russia, there are winners and losers, and today’s patriot can fast become tomorrow’s traitor.

As a new generation of oligarchs fights to seize control, Patriots follows billionaire businessman Boris Berezovsky from the president’s inner circle to public enemy number one.
