From it's first previews Stephen Ward proved an instant hit with the public. This sharp new musical reunites Andrew Lloyd Webber, Don Black and Christopher Hampton for the first time since Tony award winning Sunset Boulevard. Described as intelligent, funny and refreshing by critics, audiences young and old will be able to relate to the story of sex, scandal in politics and the upper classes that is as relevant today as it was 50 years ago.
STEPHEN WARD charts the rise and fall from grace of the man at the centre of the Profumo scandal. Friend to film stars, spies, models, government ministers and aristocrats, his rise and ultimate disgrace coincided with the increasingly permissive lifestyle of London’s elite in the early 1960s.
