OUR AJAX marches into the Southwark Playhouse

David Mercatali directs the World Premiere of Timberlake Wertenbaker’s new play, OUR AJAX, which opens tonight at the Southwark Playhouse, designed by James Turner and with a cast that includes Joe Dixon and Adam Riches.

Taking its lead from Sophocles’ AJAX, the play grounds itself in research and interviews from modern day servicemen and women.  Torn between army politics and the love of his soldiers on the front line of war, the legendary leader begins to spiral out of control.

OUR AJAX plays at the Southwark Playhouse in The Large until 30th November and tickets can be bought here.
