Patriots (Main)

If the politicians cannot save Russia, then we businessmen must. We have not just the responsibility but the duty to become Russian heroes. 1991. The Fall of the Soviet Union. With the dawning of a new Russia, there are winners and losers, and today's patriot can fast become tomorrow's traitor. As a new generation of oligarchs fights to seize control, we follow billionaire businessman Boris Berezovsky - the 'kingmaker' behind Vladimir Putin - from the president's inner circle to public enemy number one, in this unflinching story of patronage, ambition and the dangers of loyalty and love. Winner of the Critics' Circle Best New Play Award 2023, Peter Morgan's Patriots opened at the Almeida Theatre, London, in July 2022, and transferred to the West End's Noel Coward Theatre the following year. This is the revised West End edition. 'In this witty, thrilling battle of political wills, Peter Morgan . . . showcases the gift for concision and emotional grounding that [he] brought to The Crown, The Oueen, and his New Labour succession drama The Deal . . . A cracking, exciting piece of theatre that's become, sadly, very timely.' Evening Standard 'Deliciously pell-mell . . . zings with wit.' Daily Telegraph 'Part political thriller, part cautionary tale . . . never less than gripping.' Financial Times
