Every child is welcomed at the progressive Eureka Day school in Berkeley, California – it's a point of pride for the parents on the Executive Committee.
But when a public health scare erupts, it turns out tolerance and togetherness are no match for mumps…
In Jonathan Spector's timely and hysterical comedy, polite debate descends into ideological warfare, as a democratic utopia tears itself apart.
Starring Academy, Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner Helen Hunt (As Good As It Gets, The Sessions, Mad About You) and directed by Katy Rudd (Camp Siegfried, The Ocean at the End of the Lane), with further casting to be announced.
A co-production with Sonia Friedman Productions.

What a wonderful show! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Wonderful cast! Fantastic evening!
Art imitating life. Was wonderfully written to have us laugh at ourselves, and our often far reaching, unreasonable expectations. Haven't laughed so hard for a long time.Recommend all get over to Old Vic as soon as possible.
Wonderfully written and produced, great cast in a beautiful theatre.
Well written. Funny and painfully spot on sending up the current state of discourse in sharing ideas in America. Echoes of Love Letters in end of Act 1and Animal Farm in Act 2
Very good
Wonderful acting!
Laughed until I basically cried. All the actors were amazing. Have recommended it to all my friends…just wish it was playing for longer!
first act very funny - second act a bit dull
Very funny and topical
So great to see these acclaimed actors on stage.
Wonderful! I enjoyed the acting, the script and i loved the humour, especially at the end of the first act. LOL
We really enjoyed the play!
