"A critical, hard-edged play that is not cynical . . . Beautiful."--Times (UK)
An urgent political play from Jack Thorne (Let the Right One In; TV's Skins), a rising star on the British playwriting scene. Hope is a funny and scathing fable attacking the squeeze on local government. How do you save twenty-two million pounds? Mark and Hilary, the leaders of the Council, are about to find out. Hope premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London in November 2014.
