- Nov 29, 2022
James Graham's Best Of Enemies is now open at the Noel Coward Theatre, having transferred from the Young Vic.

Review: BEST OF ENEMIES, Noël Coward Theatre

Rupert Goold directs a sanitised tale of faith, love, and financial fraud with a cast led by Andrew Rannells and Katie Brayben as the Bakkers - the couple who changed the face of American Christianity by broadcasting “24 hours per day, seven days a week until the second coming” in the 70s and 80s.
