Democracy
by Michael Frayn
directed by Richard Rose
It’s 1969, and Willy Brandt, the
charismatic left-wing politician, has just
been elected chancellor of West Germany.
His government is full of limitless energy,
exciting new ideas – and an East German
spy. This international hit from the writer
of Copenhagen and Noises Off is a spy
thriller wrapped up in a political drama.
One of those rare dramas that don’t just dare
to think big but that fully translate their high aspirations
to the stage.
