James Graham’s new play Labour of Love is set to have its premiere run at the Noel Coward Theatre in London’s West End from 27th September 2017, for a strictly limited ten week period.
This witty and poignant political comedy pairs up the acclaimed creative team of writer James Graham and director Jeremy Herrin once again, following their acclaimed play This House which enjoyed an acclaimed run at the Garrick Theatre in 2016.
Labour of Love tells the story of Labour Party MP David Lyons who only cares about modernisation and his own electability. His constituency agent, Jean Whittaker however, will always put her principles and her community first.
Set away from Westminster, the focus of Graham’s previous play This House, Labour of Love is set in the Labour Party’s traditional northern heartlands, where the battle of ideas, class and culture come to a head. With over 25 years of shifting Labour ideology, through Kinnock, to Blair and into Corbyn, what does the future look like?
