Democracy

About the Show

Three political parties, fifteen warring cabinet ministers, and sixty million separate egos. Based on fact and set against the backdrop of Germany in the mid-1960s, Democracy re-imagines the interactions between Willy Brandt, the first left-of-centre West German Chancellor, and his devoted personal assistant Günter Guillaume, who is no less devoted to his other role as a spy. From Michael Frayn, the author of Copenhagen and Noises Off, Democracy is a brilliant story of intrigue and politics.
