Description

1968. A time of political upheaval the likes of which has not been seen since. Until - perhaps - now. In a new age of radical leftism and global politics, this new version of David Edgar's 1983 award-winning hit play, Maydays, has startling parallels to the political revolution of the Millennial Generation. It's 1968. David is 20. It is the height of the worldwide student revolt. The Vietnam war rages. Enoch Powell delivers his 'Rivers of Blood' speech. Martin Luther King is assassinated. These events will define David's politics and give focus to his writing. It's 50 years on. The 70-year-old is confronted by the 20-year old. Do they share the same beliefs? If not, is it the world that's changed, or him? Trying It On is a new play, written and perfromed by David Edgar. It premieres at the RSC in October 2018.
