Max Webster‘s adaptation of THE REAL THING is coming to The Old Vic for a limited run this autumn.
Diving through layers of play and performance, reality and deceit, THE REAL THING is Tom Stoppard’s kaleidoscopic comedy of love, infidelity and the stories we tell. Starring James McArdle (Mare of Easttown, The Tragedy of Macbeth), Bel Powley (A Small Light, The Morning Show), Oliver Johnstone (All My Sons, Henry V) and Susan Wokoma (Cheaters, Enola Holmes 1 and 2), directed by Max Webster (Macbeth, Life of Pi).
