The Mandate

In the chaotic infancy of a totalitarian regime, a family attempts to survive (and social climb) by pretending to be true believers. But the combination of a disgruntled neighbour, a lost princess, and a pack of proletariat cousins leads to a uproarious comedy of errors.

Declan Donnellan's adaptation of Nikolai Erdman's work is an electrifying, razor-sharp classic that peels back the veneer of revolutionary ideals to reveal the paranoia and absurdity beneath.

*Our Christmas Fundraiser supporting our Student Hardship Fund takes place on Tuesday, December 2nd! This evening performance with pre and post-show drinks and Christmas cheer included in your ticket.*
