About The Play
Chris New’s “ground-breaking” first play is an absurdist and oblique look at the UK in May 2015, devised during the rehearsal period and inspired by the general elections’ political deadlock. Fizzing with dark energy, the play is proving to be the most controversial show of the election season.
