Tom Littler, Artistic Director of Orange Tree Theatre said today, “David Edgar’s remarkable new play tells a fascinating story about collaboration and betrayal in a fevered moment of American history. It asks tough and pertinent questions about the intersection of friendship and politics. We are delighted to welcome this incredible cast and team to the Orange Tree bringing these iconic and ever-fascinating historical figures to life; we can’t wait to see the brilliant Michael Aloni make his UK theatrical debut, to welcome back Faye Castelow, and to see Jasmine Blackborow and Shaun Evans appearing at the OT for the first time.”
