Springwood West End Original Cast

expected of royalty. The weekend marks the first ever visit of a British monarch to the United States - can the "special relationship" survive a menu of hot dogs and beer? The President of the United States and First Lady host the King and Queen of England in this richly observed clash of cultures. While on the precipice of world war and amidst a house with very thin walls, the secrets, self-doubts, fears and indiscretions of two world leaders and their wives spill out. From Olivier and Tony Award-winning playwright and director Richard Nelson (Farewell to the Theatre, Goodnight Children Everywhere), Springwood is a witty and poignant new play that pulls back the curtain on a pivotal meeting where the personal and political entwine. Based on the Focus Features Film 'Hyde Park on Hudson'.
