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, directed by multi award-winner Nicholas Hytner.

The play follows economist and Bloomsbury Group member John Maynard Keynes as he moves between Whitehall and a circle of artists, writers and lovers. It draws on his marriage to ballerina Lydia Lopokova, his relationship with Duncan Grant and his friendship with Virginia Woolf as markets crash and Britain teeters on the edge of chaos.

The production includes music, dance, desire and debate, with Rory Kinnear and Royal Ballet principal Natalia Osipova in the cast. Osipova is making her West End debut.

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