The Surreyites will be rolling up with their credit cards to shell out from £31.00 up to £36.00 for a ticket to see this drivel at a local theatre. 'It was the dinner that changed history: the night in February 2016 when Boris Johnson decided to vote ‘leave’ and a nation’s future was sealed. Guests included the spirits of Prime Ministers past including Margaret Thatcher, Winston Churchill and Tony Blair as well as fellow MP Michael Gove, the journalist Sarah Vine*, Marina Wheeler and Evgeny Lebedev. Fast forward to post-Brexit Britain, 2029. For reasons that may be fact and/or fiction at the time of the performance, Boris, no longer in power, roams the political wilderness. Unexpected events see him back in the spotlight and with a chance to “make Britain great again”. This play addresses the big questions: What will Britain look like in ten years’ time? Is chlorinated chicken really bad for you? Who does the NHS belong to and what IS going on inside the head of the most divisive and controversial politician of our time? As befits the fastest moving story of our time, the script will be updated - nightly if necessary - to reflect events....' * Vine is Gove's wife. The play was panned in this Wikipedia entry for Jonathan Maitland, its author. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Maitland All 11 Surrey constituencies returned Tory MPs, as before. Depressing. They were: Raab. Gove. Hunt. Blunt. Grayling. Kwarteng. Lord. Beresford. Countinho. Rochardson. Spencer. |
