Ben Brown's play, set at the end of World War II, does not fully deliver on its raw materials' dramatic possibilities Read our BWW critic's review.

From the writer of Three Days In May (WhatsOnStage Best New Play Award) and A Splinter of Ice and acclaimed director Alan Strachan comes the world premiere of a tense new drama based on an astonishing true story.

The Whip packs so much into its near three hour running time that its issues, anger and need to educate drowns its dramatic potential and we're left with something that fails to reach its considerable potential.

As the 19th Century dawns, politicians of all political persuasions gather in London to abolish the slave trade once and for all.

It's not just the title that's daunting in Tony Kushner's exhaustive three-and-a-half-hour epic, which tackles everything from socialist history, belief systems and family dysfunction to maternity strap-ons and meta jokes about cell phones at the theatre. It's such a barrage of polyphonic arguments and relentlessly destructive behaviour that one begins to develop a sneaking sympathy with the patriarch's desire for 'self-delivery' AKA suicide. But, under Michael Boyd's sure hand, a strong cast delivers the meat of this hefty piece - for those who can stick with it.
