With music by **Lloyd Webber** and lyrics by **Don Black** and **Christopher Hampton**, who both worked on Sunset Boulevard with the good Lord, *Stephen Ward* tells the story of ‘the real victim of the Profumo Affair’, the society osteopath who introduced **Profumo** to **Christine Keeler**, was subsequently prosecuted for living off immoral earnings, and who killed himself with a drugs overdose on the last day of his trial.

To be directed by **Richard Eyre**, *Stephen Ward* is yet to be cast.

**Event:** *Stephen Ward*

**Where:** The Aldwych Theatre, Aldwych, London

**When:** from December 3

**Tickets:** £15-£67.50
