Man and Boy Tickets

It's New York in the 1930s, and ruthless, sociopathic international financier Gregor Antonescu's business empire is on the brink of ruin as the Great Depression sweeps across America. Desperate, he flees for refuge to the apartment of his estranged son Basil. But this is no heartwarming father-son reunion - the Antonescus have always been a family filled with toxicity, emotional manipulation, and betrayal. As Gregor fights to save his business, truths will be uncovered and relationships will be tested.

First performed in 1963, Man and Boy is a thrilling, character-driven drama that explores power, green, mortality, and the cost of ambition. Now you can experience this lesser-known but deeply powerful play in a long-awaited revival at the National Theatre, just in time for Rattigan's approaching 50th anniversary. Directed by Anthony Lau (The Crucible) in his National Theatre debut, it will star acclaimed stage and screen star Ben Daniels (House of Cards, Rings of Power) and rising star Laurie Kynaston (Long Day's Journey into Night) as this unforgettable father-son duo with all their messiness and complexities.

Don't miss this provocative, compelling exploration of corruption and paternity, now with a sharp, contemporary edge for modern audiences, which feels just as relevant now as it did when it was first written.
