The Constituent London tickets  

Playing for a strictly limited run, don’t miss your chance to see the world premiere of Olivier Award winner Joe Penhall’s The Constituent. Starring Tony, BAFTA, and Emmy Award winner James Corden alongside BAFTA Award winner Anna Maxwell Martin, this volatile new play ticks all the right (election) boxes.

What is The Constituent about?

An MP with an instinct for compassion. An ex-serviceman with a life in free fall. And a parliamentary protection officer who’s having none of it.

A hard-working opposition backbencher is tested by a man in crisis in Joe Penhall’s thrilling new play. Deconstructing politics, panic alarms and the conflict between public service and personal safety, this cutting comedy has more twists than the parliament has U-turns!
