The Estate
a new play by Shaan Sahota
Booking and details
Public booking opens at midday on Thursday 6 February
Being the favourite comes at a price
The leader of the opposition has been forced to resign in a scandal. Against the odds Angad Singh emerges as the favourite.
He could win, he could make history, he could really change things – as long as his sisters keep their mouths shut.
BAFTA winner Adeel Akhtar (Fool Me Once, Four Lions) is Angad in this razor-sharp exploration of family, power and the lies we tell about ourselves.
Following his critically acclaimed revival of Accidental Death of an Anarchist, Daniel Raggett directs Shaan Sahota’s remarkable debut play.
