ALL THE LATEST FROM THE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT
BREXIT STAGE RIGHT
THE world premiere of new Brexit-inspired comedy drama The Last Temptation Of Boris Johnson will be held at London’s Park Theatre next year.
It follows a dinner party with assorted guests and the spirits of prime ministers past – Margaret Thatcher, Winston Churchill and Tony Blair.
Playwright Jonathan Maitland says: “We will be writing the show every night to keep it up to date. It’s a bit scary, sure, but let’s put it in context. The stress I’m feeling isn’t quite on a parr with that being felt by a certain Mrs T May of SW1.” ■ Go to parktheatre.co.uk for further details.
