Michael Portillo

Michael Portillo headlines this show at the Adelphi Theatre on The Strand, in the West End. It is a live performance built around the former politician and broadcaster.

Michael Portillo, a former Conservative politician who held Cabinet office before becoming a familiar face on British television through railway travel series, is the name at the centre of this show. The Adelphi Theatre stands on The Strand in the West End, in central London.

On stage, Michael Portillo is the sole named performer, so the evening is built around one presenter rather than a company or an ensemble cast. The show appeals to anyone interested in British political history or in Portillo's journeys across the country, and it offers a central London evening out for those following the career of its performer.
