Mike Bartlett’s timely play about the UK’s housing crisis at the Almeida Theatre.
Mike Bartlett follows his acclaimed Almeida Theatre play King Charles III with a new play about the UK’s housing crisis.
A young couple are offered a home of their own – but at what price? Invasive and unnerving, this World Premiere of Mike Bartlett’s provocative new play invites the audience to spy on a family as they explore a dangerous new way to live.
The cast will include Georgina Beedle, Clare Burt, Daniel Cerqueira, Kevin Harvey, Chloe Hesar, Jodie McNee, Mike Noble, Ben Righton, Richard Sumitro and Susan Wokoma.
Directed by Sacha Wares and designed by Miriam Buether (Sucker Punch), Game promises to be a fascinating and vital new play.
Wares and Buether will dramatically reconfigure the Almeida’s auditorium for this ground-breaking production. Seated in four separate zones, the audience will experience an unnervingly intimate view of the action.
