WhatsOnStage

A darkly comic play that explores the unexpected, bewildering, and life-changing consequences of challenging the status quo at a global level.

Last week, Andrew was that guy with his girl lunching in KFC, discussing apartments and making plans for the future. Today he's in Moscow, in an undisclosed hotel room, on the run and at risk of assassination.

Last week, a nobody. This week, America's Most Wanted: a man who humiliated his country with one touch of a button.

Mike Bartlett's Wild premiered at Hampstead Theatre, London, in June 2016, in a production directed by James Macdonald.
