Amadeus returns to the National from 11 January, after Michael Longhurst's production
proved such a huge hit in 2016, while An Octoroon, Branden Jacobs - Jenkins's super-smart deconstruction of racial representation on stage, gets a richly deserved transfer from the Orange Tree Theatre to the National in June.
The book was a
huge hit, earning multiple accolades (
such as the Peano Prize in 2003 International Pythagoras Prize in 2004) and
proving once and for all that Mario Livio was just as skilled as a writer as he was as an astrophysicist.
