Join director Daniel Raggett for a Masterclass that is as “unmissable” as his West End production of Accidental Death of an Anarchist. Daniel will discuss the power of political satire, the process of bringing this 50-year-old text bang up to date with its comment on police brutality in the UK, and explore how to get the most out of your comic scenes and monologues.

Daniel will be challenging Masterclass members to make big choices as he works with them on stage at the Theatre Royal Haymarket. A must for actors, directors and writers interested in political comedy…
