    REVIEW: The Knowledge at Charing Cross Theatre


    Originally written as a screenplay by the late Jack Rosenthal, The Knowledge is one of Britain's most beloved films and, in 1980, was also nominated for a Bafta award for the Best Single Play. 

    In this adaptation for the stage, the author's vividly human portrayals are perfectly translated by Simon Block and devotedly preserved by Maureen Lipman, as a director and Rosenthal's wife of over thirty years.

    Studying for one of the most difficult examinations in the world, four aspiring black cab drivers are followed in their personal and professional struggles, whilst they attempt to obtain the prestigious green badge of the trade. For them, the long preparation for The Knowledge of London becomes a real journey, at the end of which their lives won't come out unscathed.
