The Absence Of War

Presented by Headlong, Rose Theatre Kingston and Sheffield Theatres. Written by David Hare. Directed by Jeremy Herrin.

It's now or never for George Jones. The charismatic leader of the Labour Party needs to get out of opposition and into Number Ten. Plagued by a hostile media, beset by divisions in his party and haunted by his own demons, George has three weeks to convince the Great British Public that he's their man. But how much compromise is he prepared to make? How can you truly appeal to the man in the street from the House of Commons? And which tie should he wear for Prime Minister's Questions?

Directed by Artistic Director Jeremy Herrin (Wolf Hall/Bring up the Bodies, RSC), Headlong (1984, Chimerica) present their vigorous new production of Academy Award nominee David Hare's funny, stinging political drama.
