The Standard Of Living

About The Standard of Living

The Standard of Living at the Theatre Royal Haymarket is a world-premiere play by Olivier Award-winning playwright James Graham. It tells the story of economist John Maynard Keynes, moving between Whitehall and a circle of artists, writers and lovers as Britain faces economic crisis.

Directed by multi award-winner Nicholas Hytner, the production brings together music, dance, desire and debate in a portrait of Keynes and the question that drives him: what is a good life? It opens in the West End for a strictly limited 12-week season.

It stars Olivier Award winner Rory Kinnear and Royal Ballet principal Natalia Osipova, in her West End debut.

Key facts: Opening at the Theatre Royal Haymarket from 21 September. Suggested for ages 12+.
