Habeas Corpus

Habeas Corpus Tickets are Out Now for Menier Chocolate Factory

Alan Bennett’s iconic play Habeas Corpus will soon open at the West End’s Menier Chocolate Factory. One of Bennett’s most celebrated works, the play is an intriguing farce that made its West End debut almost 50 years back. Since then, it has been one of the most successful British stage comedies worldwide. It was the third full-length play of the writer to open in the West End. Starring legendary actor Alec Guinness, the performance received roaring reviews from critics and the audience alike. So, it is unsurprising that the revival has met much anticipation. Theatre-lovers are eagerly awaiting to catch the Habeas Corpus Tickets as soon as they hit the box office.

 Keeping up the hype, the beloved play is all set to make a comeback on the stages of London’s theatreland once again and make the audience laugh their hearts out. Bennett’s other plays, such as The Madness of George III and The History Boys, have also been raging successes here at the West End. If you have seen them, you can guess how entertaining his plays can be. However, if you are not familiar with the great comedies, let us assure you that it will be a laugh riot and intriguing at the same time. The new cast members are equally celebrated, as were its original lineup. So, expect to have a blast. 

An Unusual Plot That Will Leave You Reeling with Laughter

As you might be familiar with, the title of the show is a term used in legal affairs. Derived from Latin, it indicates the act of someone applying for another person’s lawful release to the judicial system. From this, if you think that the play will be a solemn courtroom drama, you are very much mistaken. In reality, Habeas Corpus is a bone-tickling comedy that never lets you sit still on your seat. Instead, it will have you burst out in laughter with its witty punchlines and absurd situations. 

The Habeas Corpus Tickets will lead you to the ridiculous world of 1960s Hove, following the Wicksteed family. From the outside, the lot seems perfectly normal in their picture-perfect household and expected family dynamics. But underneath, they hide lots of unusual drama and unexpected tensions that will make you gasp. The upheavals begin when the family welcomes a whirlwind of mistaken identities and sexual pleasures into their lives. From there, the story goes uphill and downhill with a series of bad decisions, manipulations, and utter confusion as they reach an unexpected culmination. 

Stars Galore

Patrick Marber, known for crafting remarkable productions such as Travesties and Leopoldstadt, directs the play. With Bennett’s classic, Marber again returns to comedy, working with an all-star cast, including Kirsty Besterman, Matthew Cottle, Jasper Britton, and Ria Jones.
