Every Good Boy Deserves Favour

Mike Leigh's black comedy ABIGAIL'S PARTY, directed by Nadia Fall, will transfer to the Harold Pinter Theatre following its Theatre Royal Stratford East run, with Tamzin Outhwaite and Kevin Bishop leading the cast.

'Every Good Boy Deserves Favour' is a political satire that arrived on the NCPA stage for a rare performance. This spectacle was written by Tom Stoppard - the story of a political dissident in the Soviet Union. The play is accompanied by a 45-piece orchestra, performed by the Symphony Orchestra of India, which itself becomes a character of the play, adding to the crests and troughs of a prison-asylum's inhabitants.
