Cancelling Socrates @ Jermyn Street Theatre (until 02 July)

They say Pericles caught democracy from you in bed. Today, Socrates is revered as the founding father of Western philosophy. But in 399BC Athens, he was a pain in the neck. The plague is over, democracy is (just about) restored, and everyone would like to get back to normal. How hard is it for one ageing firebrand to stop asking questions? Its time to shut him up Based on eyewitness accounts, Cancelling Socrates is a provocative, witty and dangerous world premiere from Howard Brenton, one of our foremost dramatists, whose acclaimed plays have been staged at the National Theatre, RSC, Shakespeares Globe, and worldwide. He reunites with our Artistic Director, Tom Littler.
