James Corden Stars in New Political Drama at Old Vic Theatre

The Constituent, set in an MP's office, delves into the dilemmas of public service and safety.

James Corden will return to the London stage in 'The Constituent,' a new political drama at the Old Vic Theatre, marking his first role since leaving his US late-night talk show.
The play, set in an MP’s constituency office, explores the conflict between public service and personal safety, with Corden playing an ex-serviceman whose life is in freefall.
Anna Maxwell Martin and Zachary Hart complete the cast, in a production directed by Matthew Warchus and written by Joe Penhall, known for his work on 'Blue/Orange' and 'Sunny Afternoon.'
The Constituent' is part of a series of politically engaged plays in London, reflecting on the growing antipathy towards elected politicians and the increasing threats they face.
The play runs from June 13 to August 10, with tickets going on sale Wednesday. It is the Old Vic’s 25th world premiere since Warchus began his tenure in 2015.
