House of Games

After spending his middle years as the most in demand comedy playwright in the country, Richard Bean seems happy spending his pensionable days as the virtual in house writer at Hampstead Theatre. Unlike his recent hits To Have and To Hold and Reykjavik, House of Games is not a new play. But where better for the first revival of this somewhat divisive 2010 Almeida adaptation of David Mamet’s slick 1987 noir? The drama follows Dr Margaret Ford, a celebrated psychoanalyst who falls in with a glamorous conman as she attempts to write a research her new book. Lisa Dillon, Richard Harrington and Oscar Lloyd will star.
