The BDS is proud to present Yes, Prime Minister, by Anthony Jay & Jonathan Lynn, directed by Ben Vallely, at the Women’s Hall this July.
The UK is in crisis: debt is spiralling, unemployment is on the rise and the fragile coalition cabinet, led by Prime Minister Jim Hacker (Trevor Bishop), is at breaking point. But salvation may exist in the form of a complex pipeline deal with the oil-rich country of Kumranistan that would entitle the government to a multi-trillion pound loan. When the Kumranistan Foreign Secretary makes a shocking request of Jim's Private Secretary Bernard Woolley (Will Gooda), moral considerations collide with the economic future of the nation. But how will Jim and his team: Bernard, Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby (John Pounder), and Special Adviser Claire Sutton (Denise Robinson), reconcile the two? Political machinations, media manipulation and an appeal for divine intervention ensue.
