Direct from London’s West End comes this wildly witty comedy about the ups and downs of left-of-center politics over the past twenty-five years. MP David Lyons parachuted into Parliament with Tony Blair’s generation of center-left politicos focused on electability and effectiveness. His local office director, Jean Whittaker, firmly believes in the pro-union, far-left policies that have historically served his constituency deep in the heart of British coal country… a district that in 2018 just might turn conservative for the first time in a century.  Unfolding over decades, across multiple election nights, through economic booms and busts, this wickedly funny clash of values and class reflects a shifting political landscape that will resonate for anyone asking, “whither the Democrats?” James Graham is one of the UK’s hottest playwrights who recently had three separate works (including Labour of Love) running concurrently on the West End.

“a rom-com pol-com that is knockabout funny and politically incisive.” - The Times of London
