Democracy

Following an acclaimed West End run, Michael Frayn’s award-winning play premieres in Scotland in an exciting new production from Rapture Theatre, the people who brought you All My Sons and The Last Yankee.

West Germany, 1969. Charismatic Willy Brandt has been elected Chancellor but soon those within his own party seek to destroy him. As the noose tightens, Brandt believes the only man he can truly trust is Gunter Guillaume, his devoted personal assistant. But in the world of political intrigue, espionage and betrayal, is anyone to be trusted?

Shakespearean in scale but with all the twists and spins of modern politics, Democracy combines the fascination of a John Le Carre thriller with the dynamism of The West Wing andHouse of Cards.
