Labour of Love Tickets

World premiere of James Graham’s new comedy Labour of Love at the Noel Coward theatre for a strictly limited 10-week run!

Martin Freeman and Tamsin Greig will star in a razor sharp political comedy about the Labour Party, set in the party's traditional northern heartands where the clash and divide between party philosophy, class and culture couldn't be more divided. James Graham and director Jeremy Herrin retunited following their previous collaboration on This House, and plays at the Noël Coward Theatre until 2 December 2017.

Labour MP David Lyons cares about modernisation and “electability”… his constituency agent, Jean Whittaker cares about principles and her community. Set away from the Westminster bubble in the party’s traditional northern heartlands, this is a clash of philosophy, culture and class against the backdrop of the Labour Party over 25 years as it moves from Kinnock through Blair into Corbyn… and beyond?
