CAN YOU PUT A PRICE ON HAPPINESS, BEAUTY AND LOVE?
Husband to ballerina Lydia Lopokova. Lover to Duncan Grant. Friend to Virginia Woolf. Keynes moves between the corridors of power in Whitehall and the intoxicating freedom of a radical circle of artists, writers and lovers – all determined to live differently.
But as markets crash, old systems crumble and Britain teeters on the edge of chaos, one question begins to consume him:
Directed by multi award-winner Nicholas Hytner (The History Boys, One Man, Two Guvnors, Giant) and starring Olivier Award winner Rory Kinnear (Skyfall, The Diplomat) and Royal Ballet principal Natalia Osipova in her West End debut, this blazing new play tells the astonishing story of rebel economist and member of the Bloomsbury Group, John Maynard Keynes.
We are delighted to welcome Thomas Flynn, Laurie Kynaston, Pip Carter, Agatha Enecio, Naomi Frederick ,Claire Price, George Taylor, Christopher Akrill, Luke Cinque-White, Daniela Norman, Xolisweh Ana Richards and Ben Warwick to the cast.
