Written by Peter Morgan, the show opened to critical acclaim at the Almeida Theatre last Summer where Hollander’s performance was described as a ‘performance of the year’ (Independent) and has has just won the Critics’ Circle Award for Best New Play 2023. This award follows Will Keen’s Olivier Award win for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his portrayal of Vladimir Putin.
Patriots is internationally award-winning writer Peter Morgan’s (Frost/Nixon) first new play since The Audience. Peter is best known for writing the multi award-winning Netflix hit, The Crown.
It is the Almeida’s fastest selling new play and transfers to the Noël Coward Theatre for a limited twelve-week run from 26 May to 19 August 2023, with opening night on 6 June 2023.
Directed by the Almeida’s Artistic Director, Rupert Goold (Ink, Enron), Patriots is a brilliant and startlingly timely story of ambition, loyalty and betrayal in a brave new world. Based on real events, the play follows the rise of Vladimir Putin and the Russian oligarchs in 90s Russia.
The creative team includes Miriam Buether (set & costume), Deborah Andrews (costume), Jack Knowles (lighting), Adam Cork (sound & music), Polly Bennett (movement), Robert Sterne CDG (casting), Joel Trill (voice coach), Sophie Drake (assistant director) and Yuri Goligorsky (Russia Consultant).
Patriots will play a 12-week season at the Noel Coward Theatre on St Martin’s Lance, running from 26 May 2023 until 19 August 2023.
