Get Tickets for The Gang of Three at the King’s Head Theatre – A Political Drama with Devastating Consequences

In the mid-1970s Harold Wilson hands in his shock resignation as Prime Minister and the Labour government has a sudden power vacuum. Three feuding cabinet giants – Roy Jenkins, Denis Healey and Tony Crosland – meet to discuss who should succeed him.

This new play by Robert Khan and Tom Salinsky tells the story of how, in a changing Britain, their bitter rivalries came to destroy their mutual goal, instead ushering in eighteen years of Tory rule.

The Gang of Three runs from 30 April 2025 until 1 June 2025 at the King’s Head Theatre in London.

The Gang of Three tells the story of how, in a changing Britain, their fractured friendships and bitter rivalries came to destroy their mutual goal, instead ushering in eighteen years of Tory rule.
