The Gang of Three Tickets at King’s Head Theatre
In 1976, Harold Wilson announces his shock resignation as Prime Minister and the Labour government has a sudden power vacuum. Feuding cabinet giants – Roy Jenkins, Denis Healey and Tony Crosland – meet to discuss who should succeed him.
Ostensibly friends, contemporaries at Oxford and embarking on their historic quest to make the Labour party Britain’s natural party of government, The Gang of Three tells the story of how their fractured friendships and bitter rivalries came to destroy their mutual goal, instead ushering in eighteen years of Tory rule.
Leading play-writing duo Robert Khan and Tom Salinsky return to the King’s Head, following two sell-out runs of their critically acclaimed play Brexit, which transferred from the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019. Their previous hits have included Coalition, Kingmaker and Impossible.
This new political drama is directed by Kirsty Patrick Ward, whose recent work has included The Children, Nottingham Playhouse; Strike!, Southwark Playhouse; The Sweet Science of Bruising; Southwark Playhouse & Wilton’s Music Hall; Groan Ups, Vaudeville Theatre, and Manic Street Creature, Summerhall.
