Trumbo
By Christopher Trumbo from the letters of Dalton Trumbo

Performed by Corin Redgrave and Nick Waring
Director: John Dove

 

"A shocking tale of persecution which stands as a potent warning to society today"

WHAT'S ON STAGE

"Corin Redgrave inhabits a coruscating, charismatic character, caressing speeches off the page" UKTW

When legendary screen writer Dalton Trumbo stood up to the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1947, he was thrown in prison for 11 months and blacklisted as one of the 'Hollywood Ten'.

Based on his brilliant and razor sharp letters to friends, former friends and family, Christopher Trumbo reveals how the author of Spartacus, Roman Holiday and Exodus took on Congress, Hollywood and the Red Scare - and won.

Corin Redgrave is joined onstage by Nick Waring, son of actors Derek Waring and Dorothy Tutin.
