In 1991, after the fall of the Soviet Union, the new Russia belonged to its oligarchs — none more powerful than billionaire Boris Berezovsky (Stuhlbarg). He turns to a little-known deputy mayor named Vladimir Putin (Keen, reprising his London performance) when Russia needs a new president. But Putin’s ruthless rise threatens Berezovsky, who criticizes him and becomes a public enemy. Patriots captivatingly stages the epic confrontation between these two fatally flawed men.
Don’t miss this critically acclaimed, "monstrously entertaining" (London Theatre) production of a shockingly timely show, which won the 2023 Critics’ Circle Award for Best New Play in London ahead of this highly anticipated New York transfer.

More information about Patriots on Broadway
Where do powerful world leaders come from? The New York transfer of Morgan's celebrated play Patriots exposes the twists and turns of a leader’s rise to fame and how Putin’s power threatened the very man who handpicked him as a leader. By turning an eye to the 1991 Soviet Union, Morgan brings thrilling theatrical life to one of today’s most notorious leaders.
The play also reveals the life of a less famous but highly influential Russian figure: billionaire Boris Berezovsky, who passed away in 2013. Berezovsky made his fortune in Russia in the 1990s, when the country implemented privatization of state property. He profited from gaining control the country's main TV channel among other properties.
In 1997, Forbes estimated Berezovsky's wealth at $3 billion. Perhaps most importantly, he helped fund Unity, the political party that formed Vladimir Putin's first parliamentary base — until he turned his back on Putin and became his main critic for the rest of his life.
What to watch for
- The hit show premiered at London's Almeida Theatre before going to London's West End and to Broadway. Patriots in New York is the same as that production. One of the U.K.’s most famous theatres, the Almeida has premiered recent hits including Tammy Faye (headed for Broadway soon) and A Streetcar Named Desire with Paul Mescal.
- Another major character in Patriots is fellow Russian politician Roman Abramovich, played by Luke Thallon in London and New York. He allegedly has a good relationship with Putin, but he's publicly denied this.
- Berezovsky spent time in exile. He publicly stated his mission to bring down Putin "by force" or by bloodless revolution. After making that threat, Berezovsky survived several alleged assassination attempts and received political refugee status in the U.K.
- Morgan has written other stage plays about politics, including Frost/Nixon about the American presidency and The Audience about Queen Elizabeth II and her meetings with prime ministers.
