Booking to 18 June 2016
Fresh from a sold-out run at the National Theatre, Duncan Macmillan’s acclaimed new play transfers to the Wyndham’s Theatre.
People, Places and Things is an intoxicating new play about surviving the modern world.
Written by Duncan Macmillan and directed by Jeremy Herrin, the drama originally opened at the National Theatre on 1 September 2015; it is the latest collaboration between Headlong and the National, following the acclaimed Earthquakes in London and The Effect.
People, Places and Things runs from the 15 March 2016 until 18 June 2016 at the Wyndham’s Theatre.
STORY
Emma was having the time of her life. Now she’s in rehab.
Her first step is to admit that she has a problem. But the problem isn’t with Emma, it’s with everything else. She needs to tell the truth. But she’s smart enough to know that there’s no such thing.
When intoxication feels like the only way to survive the modern world, how can she ever sober up?
