Listening changes everything.1984, East Germany.

A writer and an actor are placed under state surveillance.

From the attic above their apartment, their Stasi man listens for evidence of subversion.

But to observe a life is to risk changing your own.Starring Academy Award nominee Keira Knightley (Black Doves, Atonement, The Misanthrope), Emmy Award winner Stephen Dillane (Game of Thrones, The Tunnel, Vigil) and Olivier Award nominee Luke Thompson (Bridgerton, Dunkirk, Oresteia), Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s The Lives of Others plays at the Adelphi Theatre for a strictly limited run.Written and directed by Olivier Award-winner Robert Icke (Oedipus, Oresteia, Romeo & Juliet) and based on the Oscar-winning 2007 film, this electrifying adaptation explores artistic censorship, state surveillance and the relationship between art and politics.AUDIO DESCRIBED: Saturday, 5th December, 2:30pmCAPTIONED: Saturday, 7th November, 2:30pmBSL INTERPRETED: Saturday, 14th November, 2:30pm
