Conversations in Tusculum at Drayton Arms Theatre

A charismatic authoritarian. A Republic teetering on the edge of collapse. An army defies the Senate's authority and breaches its barriers in an attempt at overthrow. A proud and powerful democracy lurches dangerously towards autocracy.

As positions harden and events turn irreversibly toward cataclysm, a group of friends gather in a small, quiet village to ask themselves - what can they do to save the country they love?

After acclaimed runs in New York and Kyiv, internationally renowned playwright Richard Nelson's electrifying 2008 play makes its London debut this autumn. With a revised script guided by the playwright and lead by a powerhouse cast from Broadway, West End, tours, film, television, and premier theatres around the world - you are invited to witness the first workshop stagings of this gripping and eerily prescient drama.
