Clive Barnes, The New York Post:
‘The classic beauty of The Potsdam Quartet, with its wonderfully unforced humour, is its affectionate exploration of the parameters of love, and even gay marriage within the musical quartet, while in the next room the political quartet is burning down Rome.’

Summer 1945; As the Second World War comes to an end, Stalin, Truman, Churchill and Atlee, the ‘Big Four’, meet at Potsdam in Occupied Germany. Meanwhile in an ante room a British string quartet, guarded by a Russian soldier, wait to perform. As the musicians bicker and the quartet begins to disintegrate, next door the fate of the world is being settled. Contrasting the conflicting and paradoxical worlds of politics and art, The Potsdam Quartet is a play about love, friendship and endurance.
