Draining the Swamp


The Company (UK)

Meet Sir Oswald and Lady Diana Mosley. Discover the private personas behind the Fascist leader and his unorthodox wife, who were both vilified and adored in their lifetimes. Was he the thuggish villain he is portrayed as? Was he deluded, dangerous or visionary? How critical was Diana's supporting role? Draining the Swamp unpicks the intentions behind the dangerous and controversial activities that Mosley led, inviting judgement about his legacy, and raising questions about parallels with contemporary British and American politicians. What is the democratic solution to managing politicians like Mosley today? A provocative new play.
