“The Prime Minister doesn't want the truth, he
wants something he can tell Parliament!”

Yes, Prime Minister

As the General Election rapidly approaches, why not
take an irreverent preliminary peek behind the scenes in the corridors of power?

Updated to reflect the
(comic) realities of modern government, Jay and Lynn’s adaptation of their
much-loved 1980s TV series has lost none of the biting wit and wry satire that
made it such a memorable hit.
Jim Hacker, governing
with a threadbare majority, faces yet another crisis. With a divided cabinet
and a sinking pound in an age of 24-hour rolling news, the Prime Minister
struggles to keep the lid on a world spinning farcically out of control, aided
– or is it hindered? – by his Machiavellian civil servants, Sir Humphrey and
Bernard.
Fully
milking the comic possibilities of our new age of coalition government, Jay and
Lynn exploit the rapidly changing world of politics to push the boundaries of
satire towards the zany and glorious realm of farce.
