Yes, Prime Minister! - ACTING EDITION

This stage adaptation based on the hugely successful TV comedy series is set in the Prime Minister's study at Chequers ...

The UK is in crisis - debt is spiralling, unemployment is on the rise and the fragile coalition cabinet, led by Prime Minister Jim Hacker, is at breaking point

Salvation may exist in the form of a complex pipeline deal with the oil-rich country of Kumranistan that would entitle the government to a multi-trillion pound loan

But when the Kumranistan Foreign Secretary makes a shocking request of Jim's Private Secretary Bernard Woolley, moral considerations collide with the economic future of the nation

So how will Jim and his team - Bernard, Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby, and Special Adviser Claire Sutton - reconcile the two?

Political machinations, media manipulation and an appeal for divine intervention ensue
