Quiz brings James Graham's fast-moving stage play to Apollo Theatre in Newport, with a story that many people still remember from the Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? headlines. The play takes the Charles Ingram coughing scandal and turns it into something closer to a live puzzle: part courtroom, part game show, part argument about how sure anyone can be when a nation has already made up its mind. Theatre and arts events like this suit a proper evening out without needing to leave the Island.
Apollo's production gives the material an intimate Newport setting, which should suit a play built on tension, judgement and audience instinct. You know the format before you arrive, but the pleasure is in watching the questions tighten, the evidence shift, and the room decide whether it believes what it sees.
It is a good choice when you want a midweek or weekend theatre night with something more talkable than a simple whodunnit. Book ahead if you can, because Apollo runs as a small community theatre and the better-known plays can feel busy once word gets around Newport.
