Rooted in shocking and fascinating historical truth, Democracy is a dazzling new work by Tony Award winner Michael Frayn, directed by two-time Tony winner Michael Blakemore. The story of former West German chancellor Willy Brandt, the play explores his downfall at the hands of an East German intelligence agent who becomes his assistant and confessor. Part thriller, part political expose, part human drama, Democracy is, in all, an endlessly gripping new play.

For the benefit of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Equus star Daniel Radcliffe will be auctioning off the jeans he wears in the show after matinee performances on November 22, 29 and December 6. What do you think? 7 comments
Fun! And for a good cause!
Not exactly my thing, but it's for a good cause.
Fine, as long as the winner isn't too creepy.
Way inappropriate, even if it is for a good cause.
