An electric political comedy, exploring the twists and turns of the Labour Party from critically acclaimed playwright James Graham.
Labour MP David Lyons cares about modernisation and "electability"... his constituency agent, Jean Whittaker cares about principles and her community. Set away from the Westminster bubble in the party's traditional northern heartlands, this is a clash of philosophy, culture and class against the backdrop of the Labour Party over 25 years, as it moves from Kinnock through Blair into Corbyn... and beyond?
This razor-sharp political comedy from James Graham was produced by Michael Grandage Company and Headlong and received its world Premiere at the Noël Coward Theatre in September 2017.
"And what makes this such a good and gripping piece of theatre is that it doesn’t preach us sermons about press ethics but leaves us to draw our own conclusions ...It strikes me as a first-rate play...****" - Ink review, Guardian
"Graham is so good at this kind of thing, mining recent political and social history to create compelling theatre...****" - Ink review, The Stage
