__All hell breaks loose when Harvard professor Charles Nichols invites a contentious white nationalist to his yearly symposium.__



His colleagues are very concerned about how this will affect both his and the University’s reputation; his students are vociferously protesting. However, Charles refuses to budge. Is there another agenda?



__Dominic Dromgoole__ directs __Julian Ovenden__ (Charles Nichols), __Tanya Franks__ (Amy), __Katie Bernstein__ (Maggie), __Georgia Landers__ (Quinn) and __Paul Rider__ (Frank).



Written by __Paul Grellong__ (*The Boys* and *Law & Order: SVU*), this moral thriller investigates the thin line between hate and freedom of speech - who bears the ultimate cost?



This production - co-produced with __Daryl Roth__, who previously collaborated with the Menier on the critically acclaimed production of Indecent - opens on 28th March, with previews from the 20th March, and plays for a strictly limited 8 week run until 12 May.
