Quiz transfers to the Noel Coward Theatre from 31 March to 16 June 2018. The run of Ink closes at the Duke of York’s on 6 January 2018.

“In an age of social media, and comment threads on news articles that are just explosions of anger, of people not talking to eachother, theatre provides one of the last refuges of reasonable conversation because it forces you into a reasonable mind-set”
