THE PERMANENT WAY

BY DAVID HARE

​

In 2019, Alex directed the first ever major London revival of The Permanent Way by David Hare, a site-specific production in the former railway arches at The Vaults beneath Waterloo Station.

​

David Hare's extraordinary verbatim play examines the human cost of corporate greed and governmental mismanagement in the wake of the botched privatisation of the railways.

​

Alex's critically acclaimed production ran at The Vaults for 10 weeks, it began on Friday 13th September 2019 and played until Sunday 17th November 2019.
