The 47th

'It's not a game for gentlemen we're playing, Political and civilized. This is Historic' It is 2024 and as America goes to the polls, democracy itself is on the brink. Who takes the White House - and at what cost? Mike Bartlett's viciously funny play The 47th is a chaotic glimpse into the underbelly of the greatest political show on earth - the next presidential race. It is premiered at the Old Vic, London, in April 2022.
