Book description
Yes, Minister, and the equally successful sequel Yes, Prime
Minister captured a niche in the political consciousness of the
nation. First broadcast thirty years ago, the original writers of
these classic series have reunited to create a bang up to date Yes,
Prime Minister for the stage. Spin, blackberries, sexed-up dossiers,
sleaze, global warming and a country on the brink of financial
meltdown form the backdrop to mayhem at Chequers as the Foreign
Minister of Kumranistan makes a seriously compromising offer of
salvation. Prime Minister Jim Hacker remains in power with his coterie
of close advisors including Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby and
Principal Private Secretary Bernard Woolley, but for how long? They
govern a whole new world. Yes, Prime Minister premiered in the
Festival Theatre, Chichester, in May 2010.
