Booking to 4 March 2023
It is life’s great aim. To find a way to be honest with oneself, even as the world pretends around you.
Inspired by the extraordinary real life of an 18th Century gender pioneer, Ruby Thomas’ epic and playful modern love story takes eighteenth century court records as its starting point. It follows her two sell out successes for Hampstead Downstairs: 2022’s The Animal Kingdom (‘pure theatre’ – The Guardian) and 2019’s Either (‘marks Ruby Thomas out as a daring and exciting new voice’ – The Arts Desk).
Linck & Mülhahn is booking from 27 January 2023 until 4 March 2023 at Hampstead Theatre, London.
