COMMUNITY WEDNESDAYS AT THE OLD VIC - RESURRECTION BLUES
From Wednesday 15 February
Lambeth and Southwark residents can purchase �5 tickets for
either the matinee or evening performances each Wednesday
throughout the run of Resurrection Blues. Resurrection
Blues, by Arthur Miller, is directed by Robert Altman, the
legendary film-maker, and stars Jane Adams, Neve Campbell,
James Fox, Peter McDonald, Matthew Modine and Maximilian
Schell. Humorous, poetic and thought-provoking, the play
brilliantly satirises misguided global politics and the
predatory nature of a media-saturated culture. This
astonishingly black comedy was completed just a month before
Miller's death. 
Offer exclusive to Lambeth and Southwark residents. Tickets
can only be booked in person at the Box Office at The Old
Vic and you must quote �Community Rate�. Proof of address
needed when booking. Offer is subject to availability.
