Edinburgh Festival and London West End Smash Hit returns. Read more …
Gordon Brown hilariously exposes the darkest secrets of being Prime Minister - the stab-in-the-back plottings, the betrayals and most importantly - the hair gel. In a candid portrait of life inside Downing Street Gordon at last reveals what it takes to knife your way to the top and rule a nation. He also discloses how his dream of power went awry.
A brand new one-man play by acclaimed Emmy-nominated writer and director Kevin Toolis, starring Billy Hartman as Gordon Brown.It may well be that a longer run may resolve some issues, one certainly hopes so, but the structural issues mentioned seem likely to remain.
All in all Toolis presents a funny yet almost worrying view on the pantomime that is our countries politics creating a show that’s not to be missed.
There’s next to nothing that is badly written – the problem is that often, there’s too much repetition.
