"We live in an age of cuts. We are a working class town, that's our strength and in the current climate, our weakness." How do you save 22 million pounds? Mark and Hilary, the leaders of the Council are about to find out. Following the success of Let The Right One In, Jack Thorne has written an urgent political play, a funny and scathing fable attacking the squeeze on local government. Hope has its world premiere at the Royal Court Theatre, London in November 2014.
