21-24 May

'Road' is funny, sad, powerful and fast moving. It was voted one of the best plays of the 20th century in a poll by the Royal National Theatre.

It is 1987, and the country is reeling from the effects of recession.

You will meet 38 characters, all trying in their own way to find some kind of escape from their squalid and desperate existence, and sometimes using strong language to express themselves.

With a complex stage set featuring terraced houses, and 13 performers playing different parts - and one or two surprises along the way - this is one of the Apollo's most ambitious productions.

Don't miss it!
