Yes, Prime Minister

Yes, Prime Minister

"Comedy double act David Cameron and Nick Clegg are reportedly furious that a competing political comedy is now on tour. A source close to Cameron and Clegg – also known by their stage name 'The Coalition'– said they were fuming to have another comedy act muscling in on their turf."

Following two sell-out West End seasons, Yes Prime Minister by Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn comes to the Everyman. Prime Minister Jim Hacker and his Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleton are back in fine form. In a world of spin, Blackberry smart phones and “sexed up” dossiers, the PM is staring disaster in the face. The country is on the brink of financial meltdown and the Government’s only apparent salvation comes from a morally dubious deal with the Foreign Minister of Kumranistan. Will Jim Hacker and his team of advisers be able to rescue the country from the edge?

"Jim Hacker and Sir Humphrey are back in truly vintage form. As politically sharp and blissfully funny as ever!"
