Review Roundup: James Graham's New Play, THE STANDARD OF LIVING
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Sep 30, 2026

Royal Ballet Principal Natalia Osipova makes her West End debut as the celebrated ballet dancer Lydia Lopokova, a soloist with Diaghilev's Ballets Russes who was considered the embodiment of the new era of modernist ballet.

Review: THE STANDARD OF LIVING, Starring Rory Kinnear
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Sep 30, 2026
James Graham's latest play, The Standard of Living opens with a smartly dressed, well spoken man trying (and failing) to address an audience about his economic theory. It's a wry wink to the fact that the subject matter may not be everyone's specialist subject. But this is Graham, a master of making the dryest subject accessible and the flattest personality into a fascinating and human entity.
