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
