Quiz Tickets, The Noel Coward Theatre

Following his hit plays Ink and Labour of Love, James Graham’s latest work Quiz opens at the Noel Coward Theatre in 2018.

Quiz takes an in-depth look at our love for a good TV quiz show, from Mastermind to The Price is Right, before telling the story of the infamous ‘coughing Major’ Charles Ingram, who cheated his way to the top prize on ITV quiz show Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

Quiz is directed by Daniel Evans, artistic director at Chichester Festival Theatre, and it marks the theatre’s second West End transfer after Half a Sixpence.
