The New Real by David Edgar

An epic, panoramic play about how the political fault-line has been redrawn. Premiered by the Royal Shakespeare Company and Headlong in 2024.

'A dramatic simulacrum of the past two decades of western politics, David Edgar's play explores some pressing questions where the real-world stakes could not be higher'

* Guardian *

'Welcome brain food.. flashes of insight into the giant forces that shape our present... witty as well as intelligent'

* The Times *

'Sharply topical and beautifully crafted... gripping, intelligent... beautifully plotted, full of betrayals, reversals, blind spots and unintended outcomes, with the consequences of human flaws playing out on the widest scale imaginable'

* The Stage *

'An epic and important piece'

* WhatsOnStage *

'A fast-paced political thrill ride, with some wonderful humour... a play that you cannot take your eyes off'

* The Stage *

'One of those few brave plays to confront the politics of our world head on'

* Morning Star *
