2nd May 1997

by Jack Thorne

8 Sept – 10 Oct

We’ve teamed up with our great local theatre, the Bush, and hosted their press party last night which was a great success. We love everything about The Bush  - it is a small but fantastic and inspiring establishment which is well worth many trips to.  The Bush kindly gave us two tickets to give away to our loyal blog and twitter followers but if you don’t guess the correct amount of avocados we use each week then make sure you book tickets through their box office and we can suggest a great Mexican restaurant to visit after the play!

2nd May 1997. An historic victory. The Tories, 18 years in power, are defeated as New Labour sweeps into government. From the euphoria and despair, three deeply personal stories emerge.

Tory MP Robert prepares to attend the count. With defeat looming large, he fears becoming a forgotten man while his wife Marie counts the cost of her own sacrifice to politics. Lib Dem footsoldier Ian is no hero but party-crasher Sarah is determined to make him one. Best mates Jake and Will wake up to a new world order and try to memorise the cabinet before their politics A Level class. Jake dreams of Number 10. Will dreams of Jake.

A smouldering new play from one of Britain’s most exciting young writers about escaping the past, seizing the present and owning the future.

George Perrin (Sea Wall) directs a stunning cast including James Barrett, Geoffrey Beevers, Linda Broughton, Jamie Samuel, Hugh Skinner and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Please note that the performance contains smoking, nudity and some bad language.
