The show, Travesties is all set to make its entry to the Apollo Theatre in London’s West End. Award winning director, Patrick Marber is one of the most acclaimed directors  and has worked on notable plays like Three Days in the Country, The Red Lion and Don Juan in Soho as well as the films Closer, Asylium and Notes on a Scandal.
