A Very Expensive Poison is a kaleidoscopic political thriller that blends sharp wit with high-stakes drama. Based on Luke Harding's Guardian/Faber book about the 2006 poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko, the play premiered at the Old Vic Theatre in London in 2019, weaving real-world intrigue with vaudeville and variety-arts sensibilities. The show has earned critical acclaim and notable awards, and continues to captivate audiences with its ambitious storytelling and powerful performances.
