Synopsis
Funny, bawdy and irreverant, this award winning play leads William Hogarth through an eventful tumble of scenes between brutal reality and the bizarre subconscious world of the famous artist, as he tangles with politicians, prostitutes and an outraged murderess. This highly visual production reflects the wit and bite of the play- a whirlwind of action and debate.
Winner of the John Whiting Award for Best Play.
