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.)
