The Lives of Others

In 1984 East Berlin, Stasi officer Gerd Wiesler is assigned to monitor celebrated playwright Georg Dreyman and actress Christa-Maria Sieland. Listening from the shadows, Wiesler becomes increasingly absorbed in their lives and begins to question the system he serves, with consequences for everyone under surveillance.

Robert Icke’s stage adaptation of Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s Academy Award-winning film is a tense story of power, conscience and resistance. Keira Knightley, Stephen Dillane and Luke Thompson lead the cast, with an original score by Max Richter.
