After sell-out
seasons in the West End and throughout the UK, Anthony Jay and Jonathan Lynn’s
comedy smash-hit Yes, Prime Minister! comes to the Theatr Clwyd stage starring
Paul Bradley, Daniel Casey and Peter Forbes.
Prime Minister Jim Hacker and his long-suffering
Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby are back – still morally dubious and
spinning the stories – all while starting disaster and political ruin in the
face! Starring Paul Bradley (EastEnders, Holby City) as
Jim Hacker and Daniel Casey (Midsummer Murders, EastEnders)
as Bernard Wooley and Peter Forbes at Sir Humphrey Appleby this hilarious comedy smash-hit
is guaranteed to leave audiences crying with laughter.
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. But 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. 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. But 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.
"Left me
crying with laughter ... the piece achieves one of those blissful peaks of great
farce when it becomes physically impossible to stop laughing ... a smash hit if
ever I saw one" - Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph on Yes, Prime
Minister! the play.
Yes, Prime Minister! the hilarious political
stage satire from the writers of the original television series Yes,
Minister and Yes, Prime Minister can be seen at Theatr
Clwyd (Theatr Anthony Hopkins) from Tue 5 – Sat 9 November. Eves 7.30pm, Tue
& Sat Mat 2.30pm. Tickets, priced from £30 are available from the Theatre
