About The Standard of Living

The Standard of Living at the Theatre Royal Haymarket is a brand new world-premiere play by James Graham. It opens in the West End for a strictly limited 12-week season, directed by Nicholas Hytner and starring Rory Kinnear and Natalia Osipova in her West End debut.

The production includes music, dance, desire and debate.

James Graham is the Olivier Award-winning playwright of Punch, Dear England and Labour of Love. The Standard of Living opens at the Theatre Royal Haymarket from 21 September.
