Most remarkably, for all the sadness at its core,The Herd remains a buoyantly entertaining play." - New York Times
"A wise and truthful new play... The Herd does an awful lot really well... but it is rare indeed to find a contemporary play with such richly written roles for older characters." -Chicago Tribune

Recensione:
Remarkable... a family drama that slowly grows to an overwhelming pitch... digs deep beneath the surface-portrait of a middle-class family in extremis to ask profound questions about how reconciliation can be achieved and love restored... All the roles represent gifts for actors... this play warrants nothing less than a box-office stampede. --Telegraph
A vivid and unsentimental portrait of domestic life, flecked with wry humour... the dialogue tingles with well-observed idiosyncrasies... satisfyingly wise. --Evening Standard
A witty, agonising and eye-opening play... It's observations are keenly felt. --Independent
An impressive writing debut that grips like a vice... says the unsayable, as all good drama should. --whatsonstage.com

Rory Kinnear has worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal National Theatre. As well as appearing onstage, in productions such as Festen, Hamlet, The Revengers Tragedy, The Seagull, Mary Stuart, The Man of Mode, Burnt by the Sun and The Last of the Haussmans, he has made memorable appearances on television in one-off dramas such as Women in Love and as the PM in the first episode of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror. He has also appeared as Bill Tanner in the James Bond films Quantum of Solace and Skyfall. In the summer of 2013 he will play Iago against Adrian Lester as Othello in the National Theatre's hugely anticipated production of Shakespeare's great tragedy. The Herd is his first play.
