The quiz champions will win three pairs of tickets to see one of the UK’s most acclaimed stage actresses in Jonathan Church’s world premiere production of Taken At Midnight by Mark Hayhurst. Featuring a fine company of actors, this gripping and important play opens at Theatre Royal Haymarket from Thursday 15 January 2015.
Penelope Wilton portrays the role of Irmgard, the mother of celebrated lawyer Hans Litten who, in 1931, puts Hitler on the witness stand and wins. In 1933 when Hitler becomes Reich Chancellor, Litten suffers devastating consequences. The unquestionable love of a mother for her son and her courageous efforts to help him are at the heart of this compelling new play. Fearless and indomitable she confronts his captors at enormous personal risk to fight for his release against the seemingly impossible might of the Nazi regime.

This week, quiz champions will win three tickets to Jon Robin Baitz’s critically acclaimed play Other Desert Cities at The Old Vic as well as three tickets to a radical new staging of Orwell’s 1984 at the Playhouse Theatre.
Don’t miss this great offer and book your place for the Club Quiz now!
Other Desert Cities
Pulitzer Prize finalist and creator of the hit TV series Brother & Sister and contributor on The West Wing, Jon Robin Baitz has taken America by storm with his Broadway debut. Other Desert Cities, an acidly witty and deeply affecting group de force, melds the political and personal with electrifying results. Nominated for five Tony Awards, the award-winnng play now makes its UK premier at The Old Vic with Lindsay Posner (Noises Off and The Winslow Boy) returning to direct this stellar cast.
1984
Nominated for a 2014 Olivier Award for Best New Play, and after two sold-out runs, the critically acclaimed Headlong, Nottingham Playhouse and Almeida Theatre production of Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece, 1984, transfers to the West End’s Playhouse Theatre for a strictly limited season from 28 April.
April, 1984. 13:00. Comrade 6079, Winston Smith, thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love. But Big Brother is always watching.
Orwell’s ideas have become our ideas; his fiction is often said to be our reality. The “definitive book of the 20th century” (The Guardian) is re-examined in a radical new staging exploring surveillance, identity and why Orwell’s vision of the future is as relevant now as ever.
Terms & Conditions: Tickets valid Monday – Thursday performances from 28 April – 22 May. Subject to availability. Exclusions apply including 5 May bank holiday.
