MANDATE

A contemporary devised satire, criticising rising facism within the Tory government in 2022.

Created in collaboration with Dianne McConnell, Hannah Neuhaus, and Dale Thrupp.


Q: What can you tell us about your show?

A: At this stage we can’t rule anything in or out. It would be unwise to pre-empt the production.

Q: What is your show about?

A: Our message is very simple: what the British people want is strong and stable leadership by strong and stable leaders.

Q: Have you lost control of the show?

A: No. We have maintained stability, and we are working day and night to maintain that stability.

Q: What do you say to those who think the show should be called off?

A: We have a mandate.

(It’s hard to make a satirical show when the whole government is a joke.)
