Synopsis

THE UK is in crisis; debt is spiralling, unemployment is on the rise and the fragile coalition cabinet, led by Prime Minister Jim Hacker, is at breaking point. When the Kumranistan Foreign Secretary makes a shocking request of Bernard, moral considerations collide with the economic future of the nation. But how will Jim and his team reconcile the two? All the razor-sharp wit, finely drawn characters and hilarious situations of the TV series reside in this delicious play!
