Review: The Estate, at Dorfman, National Theatre Compelling drama follows a politician’s attempts to balance ambition with his private life

I reviewed The Estate by #ShaanSahota at the Dorfman, @nationaltheatre.org.uk for @newjournal.bsky.social - I loved this assured debut play and the perfomances - esp #AdeelAkhtar, directed by the brilliant #DanielRaggett
