David Hare's acclaimed political satire 'Stuff Happens' is getting a one-night-only reading at the NT on the day the Chilcot Inquiry report is launched, offering a closer look at the corrupt behind-the-scenes manouevrings that led to the Iraq War.
Original cast member Alex Jennings will return as George W Bush, alongside Adjoa Andoh, Isla Blair, Iain Mitchell and Raad Rawi. There's also a starry bunch of new additions, including Bill Nighy as the narrator, and Nicholas Woodeson as Donald Rumsfeld.
'Stuff Happens' was a hit 12 years ago for offering an unflinching, darkly funny look at the grim circumstances surrounding the Iraq War. This revival feels timely, as a reminder of theatre's power to explore one of the most controversial foreign policy decisions in recent times.
