Psychological thriller A Number comes to The Old Vic More than 30 years ago, a genetic experiment took place. Now the father and son involved have had their lives turned upside down by the death of the scientist who conducted it, leading the son to realise that all is not as it seems. Intrigued? That's the premise of A Number, Caryl Churchill's 2002 play which comes to The Old Vic this month. It's got an all-star line-up, with Paapa Essiedu (who played Kwame in I May Destroy You) and Lennie James (DCI Tony Gates, Line of Duty) taking on the roles of the father and son. Lyndsey Turner directs The Old Vic's production of A Number, a play first performed at the Royal Court Theatre in 2002, and later transferred to New York. Daniel Craig and Michael Gambon are among the stars who've previously starred in the lead roles. We won't give too much away, but if you love a good psychological thriller (and who doesn't?), you won't want to miss this one. A Number is on at The Old Vic, 24 January-19 March 2022. Tickets start at just £10 — though you'll need to hurry if you want to snap up those. Click the blue button to find out more and book. |
