About

‘There are no commitments, only bargains.’

★ ★ ★ ★ "James McArdle is a revelation… Bel Powley is terrific" – Evening Standard

★ ★ ★ ★ "This witty, strikingly cast Stoppard revival balances brilliance with a beating heart" – London Theatre

★ ★ ★ ★ "Tom Stoppard’s masterpiece…will always be funny and relevant" – The Times

★ ★ ★ ★ "A stupendous performance from James McArdle powers this revival of Stoppard’s chaotically brilliant play about love" – Time Out

Annie is an actress, Henry is a playwright, and fiction is the backdrop to life. Hardly a recipe for a faithful marriage, especially when it started as an affair.

But does it matter how it began if what they have is the real thing?

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) and Bel Powley (A Small Light, The Morning Show), and directed by Max Webster (Macbeth, Life of Pi).

Written by Tom Stoppard
