LIES HAVE BEEN TOLD:

An Evening with Robert Maxwell

In 1991 this larger-than-life newspaper tycoon disappeared overboard from his luxury yacht. Was his drowning an accident? Did he jump? Or was he the victim of secret agents? At last Maxwell tells his side of the story – a journey from wartime survival to fame to fortune, via several name changes and some highly dubious financial dealings.

Philip York’s bawling, cigar-smoking, champagne-guzzling Maxwell is extremely funny. Come and let him persuade you of his point of view… if you can believe a word he says!

Follows two sell-out seasons and rave reviews in the West End.
