THE LOW ROAD opens at The Royal Court Theatre

“Tis one thing to admit the inescapable cruelty of nature, friend, but quite a different one to encourage it.”

Dominic Cooke's production of Bruce Norris's new play THE LOW ROAD opened at the Royal Court Theatre this week, a fable of free market economics and the excesses of cut-throat capitalism, set for the most part in 18^th century America.

Johnny Flynn leads the cast as marauding financial speculator Jim Trumpett, and also includes Elizabeth Berrington, Simon Paisley Day and Edward Killingback.
