Power
a new play by Nick Dear
I learn my lessons from the lips of the dying: at anymoment they may come for us, knife scintillant in the starlight, assassin sick with fear. So act first. Identify the danger, disarm it, and destroy.
Behind the seductive facade at the court of Louis XIV, there is corruption, debauchery and betrayal. It's 1661. Cardinal Mazarin is dead; the coffers are empty; Fouquet can help.
Robert Lindsay makes his NT debut. Nick Dear recently adapted Gorky’s Summerfolk for the National.
Some say power's an illusion
