The ★★★★★ box office smash-hit The Gang of Three returns to King's Head Theatre for a limited run with a returning cast!

Deep in the heart of the corridors of power, the Labour Party's Roy Jenkins, Denis Healey and Tony Crosland clash over the soul of British socialism and their own relentless ambitions.

Set against the backdrop of economic crisis, Robert Khan and Tom Salinsky’s acclaimed political drama brings to life the personalities, principles and private tensions that shaped a generation of politics.

A chance to revisit a defining moment in the battle for the soul of the Labour Party, which captures the towering intellects, fierce rivalries and the private tensions behind public power.

Sharp, provocative and richly entertaining, this is political theatre at its most gripping.

Post show talk with Lord Neil Kinnock, former Leader of the Labour Party (1983-1992), on 3 October.
