David Edgar’s Trying It On at the Royal Court Theatre

David Edgar’s Trying It On will tour to the Royal Court Theatre 24 October 2018 – 27 October 2018.

Edgar will also make his stage debut performing in Trying It On. The production is directed by Christopher Hayden with design by Frankie Bradshaw, lighting and video design by William Reynolds and sound design by Ella Wahlström.

It’s 1968. David is 20 and in his second year at University. It is the height of the world-wide student revolt. The Vietnam war rages. Powell delivers his “rivers of blood” speech. Martin Luther King is assassinated. These events will define David’s politics and give focus to his writing.

It’s 50 years on. The 70-year-old is confronted by the 20-year-old. Do they share the same beliefs? If not, is it the world that’s changed, or him? Why did his generation vote Brexit? Has he sold in or sold out?

The production will tour to a number of venues. Please see the press release here for full details.
