Springwood - Richard Nelson

Now what I need to explain to you, my friend, what your countrymen need to understand, is that when that day comes, and it will come, when my countrymen wake up, I'm not at all sure that it'll be your side that they choose . . . June, 1939. A weekend at a country house. King George VI has one chance to convince President Roosevelt to support him in the impending war. But it all seems to depend on whether the king and his wife can navigate a public picnic with the decorum expected of British royalty. The fate of nations rests upon beer and hot dogs. In Richard Nelson's humane, richly observed play, private fears and personal indiscretions spill out over a summer night, as the world waits on the brink of war. Springwood opened at Hampstead Theatre, London, in June 2026.
