Power, Scandals, and the Spin-Machine —Welcome to No. 10.
After years of scheming, backroom deals, and expertly dodging any real policy commitments, Keira Palmer has become the first female Labour Party prime minister. But the same team that helped her rise could be the ones to bring her down. Her Foreign Secretary, Will, is more interested in partying than policy, and her Director of Communications, Leela, is a millennial full of opinions but short on experience.
Just months into office, the dysfunctional trio are blindsided by a blackmail threat from frenemy-in-chief, Vladimir Putin. Communicating exclusively in emojis, he delivers an ultimatum: sell London to him or leak the sordid details of Will’s infamous 43rd birthday party to the Murdoch-owned Daily Mail.
As loyalties fracture and backroom deals unravel, incompetence takes centre stage. London's future is as uncertain as the whims of neurotic world leaders.
“British theatre would be completely stymied without tiny, under-resourced venues such as CPT, which are a critical part of the theatre ecology.”
