The Standard Of Living

About The Standard of Living

The Standard of Living at the Theatre Royal Haymarket is a brand new world-premiere play from James Graham.

Directed by Nicholas Hytner, the production features music, dance, desire and debate, and stars Olivier Award winner Rory Kinnear alongside Royal Ballet principal Natalia Osipova in her West End debut.

Key facts: Opening at the Theatre Royal Haymarket from 21 September for a strictly limited 12-week season.
