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!

Excellent performances by both central characters - would certainly recommend
What a fabulous and thought provoking show. A mix of laughter and tears. All of the three cast members delivered a top notch performance. A great Saturday afternoon.
Absolutely amazing acting. Anna Maxwell-Martin and James Corden left us speechless!
Magnificent! Gut wrenching and emotional. Truly spectacular
Love a play that keeps me thinking long after it's ended. Cast was superb and really drew me in.....
Really enjoyable!
A moving and thought-provoking play and a masterful display of acting.
This was an excellent piece of theatre, really enjoyed this this thought provoking and engaging performance. Go… if you can get a ticket, you won’t be disappointed.
Outstanding performances by all those involved. James Corden is totally underrated as an actor. So believable as his character as was Anna Maxwell-Martin and Zachary Hart who wasn't known to me. Seating arrangement either side of the stage meant fantastic view. It felt intimate and like you were actually there eavesdropping on the conversations.
Wonderfully written, acted, constructed, thought provoking play about a broken system - the well chosen music added perfectly! Emotionally told with humour beautifully intertwined. Loved it!
Brilliant performances by all three. James particularly moving. Very powerful play.
Fabulous performances from actors at the top of their game. Thought provoking, and at the same time with humour. Highly recommend.
