Two Thousand Years (Cottesloe)

a new play by Mike Leigh

For the first time, the National Theatre has commissioned Mike Leigh to create an original play. Following his usual methods, Leigh has been working with his team to explore characters, relationships, themes and ideas.

His many stage plays include Babies Grow Old (RSC, 1974), Abigail’s Party (Hampstead Theatre, 1977) and his last piece, It’s A Great Big Shame! (Theatre Royal, Stratford East, 1993).

His films include Naked, Secrets & Lies, Topsy-Turvy, All or Nothing and Vera Drake, which won the Golden Lion at Venice in 2004.

Please note: due to the high level of demand, there is an upper limit of 4 tickets per person.
