Hollywood and Broadway icon Stockard Channing stars in a new production of Olivier award winner Alexi Kaye Campbell’s acclaimed drama Apologia, directed by the multi-award winning Jamie Lloyd.

Stockard Channing’s credits include starring roles in The West Wing, The Good Wife, her Oscar and Golden Globe nominated role in Six Degrees of Separation, and the iconic role of Rizzo in the film Grease. Alexi Kaye Campbell’s work includes The Pride, Sunset at the Villa Thalia at the National Theatre and The Faith Machine at the Royal Court.  Jamie Lloyd returns to Trafalgar Studios after smash hits including The Ruling Class, Macbeth starring James McAvoy and Richard III with Martin Freeman.

Kristin Miller is a firebrand liberal matriarch and eminent art historian.  A birthday gathering should be a cause for celebration but the cracks in her family relationships are brought to the surface by the recent publication of her memoir.  As the evening progresses, questions are asked about the sacrifices she has made and about the price paid by those she loves.

Apologia is a witty, topical and passionate play about generations, secrets and warring perspectives.
