FT On Stage 

Financial Times

For one night only, Financial Times journalists will bring unforgettable stories to life. Welcome to FT On Stage.
“These live stories told by FT journalists transport the audience. Instead of turning the pages of your favourite newspaper, you go to the show”
Robert Shrimsley, editorial director and UK political commentator, Financial Times
In collaboration with Live Magazine, the FT has curated an evening of storytelling performed by an all-editorial cast, from well-known columnists, like Simon Kuper and Roula Khalaf, to our tech expert and futurist, our resident money spinner, life and arts correspondents - and even an award-winning data visualisation reporter.  
They will share true tales of secrets and lies, the rise and fall of oligarchs, decisive moments that changed everything, as well as stories about high street shopping, Oxford rivalries, power lunches and a tragic friendship.
Featuring a mix of original reporting and commentary, live music and multimedia, this event is a chance to experience poignant and humorous tales in a unique theatrical setting.
Doors open at 6pm for welcome drinks, the performance will begin at 7pm (running time: 90 minutes, no interval).
Please note there is no 'restricted view' seating in Milton Court - you'll get a great view of the stage from any part of the auditorium.
