About The Standard of Living

The Standard of Living at the Theatre Royal Haymarket is a brand new world-premiere play by James Graham. It opens in the West End for a strictly limited 12-week run from 21 September.

Starring Rory Kinnear and Natalia Osipova, the production brings music, dance, desire and debate to a portrait of a man asking what a good life looks like.
