September 2001: the nation is gripped by a scandal that remains, to this day, a mystery.
In an outrageously audacious heist, Charles Ingram, aka the Coughing Major, and his accomplices duped the world’s most popular TV quiz show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, out of £1,000,000.
Or did they? And if they did cheat, how did they really do it?
James Graham’s thrilling, entertaining and provocative comedy drama, asks you, the audience, to put fingers on keypads and answer the ultimate 50/50: guilty or not guilty?
And, for your first question, is QUIZ…
A) A play by acclaimed writer James Graham, performed by The Garrick Ensemble?
B) A provocative re-examination of the conviction of Charles Ingram, 'the coughing Major', for cheating, following his appearance on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
C) A hilarious celebration of the great tradition of the British quiz show?
D) A razor-sharp analysis of the 21st century's dangerous new attitude to truth and lies?
Answer: You decide.
Nominated for two Olivier Awards including Best New Comedy, James Graham’s smash hit play, Quiz, transferred to London’s West End with sensational reviews in 2018, following a sold-out run at Chichester Festival Theatre.
