Review
"Left me sobbing with laughter"-The Times (of London)
"Alistair Beaton rediscovers and restores the lost art of political satire in this hilariously timely portrait of new Labour fibbing and deceiving"- Benedict Nightingale, The Times
"Political satire was joyfully restored to the stage last night … A satirical treat to savour"-Nicholas de Jongh, Evening Standard
Product Description
Alistair Beaton's wonderful new play, part farce, part biting satire, is set in the plush seaside hotel of a party conference. As anti-capitalist riots rage in the streets below, sinister and obsessive press secretary Eddie and young speech-writing aide Paul are trying to finalize the PM's conference speech. But Eddie's manipulative skills are to be tested far more by the scandal that George, dim-witted lord and close friend of the PM, gradually reveals-not helped by the arrival of Eddie's ex-wife and investigative journalist, Liz.
"This is a play for our time."-John Peter, Sunday Times
"Political satire was joyfully restored to the stage last night ... A satirical treat to savor."
-Nicholas de Jongh, Evening Standard
"Hurray for a political comedy that is actually funny."-Michael Coveney, Daily Mail
