This hilariously acerbic new comedy-drama by political insider Michael McManus (Maggie & Ted), puts leadership on the ledge and goes inside the chaos of government to see whether advisers do advise and if ministers can decide.
Can one man, his punchy deputy, a Svengali spin doctor and some dodgy data unite the country? And what can his wife, the King and a large spider do to keep the lights on?
Michael McManus is a writer and political consultant. In his political career, he worked as special advisor to a range of government ministers and headed Edward Heath's private office from 1995 - 2000.
As a writer, he had written a number of books about the Conservative Party. His plays, A Certain Term (part of Generation Games) and An Honoruable Man have been published by Playdead Press after successful runs in London. A new version of his latest play Maggie & Ted will be going on tour in 2024.
