David Edgar's landmark play Maydays is about the twenty-somethings who came of age in 1968 and were drawn into revolutionary politics.
It is a story of defection from East to West as well as from Left to Right. A story told through a number of interlocking narratives, across three continents and twenty-five years of tumultuous history.
First performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Barbican, London, in 1983, Maydays was revived in this new version, also by the RSC, in September 2018.
