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 Nicholas Hytner, it tells the story of economist and Bloomsbury Group member John Maynard Keynes as he moves between Whitehall and a circle of artists, writers and lovers.

The play follows Keynes as markets crash and old systems begin to crumble, with music, dance, desire and debate shaping a portrait of a man asking what a good life is.
