What happens after the #ToryLeadershipContest? Tom Salinksy and Robert Khan’s Brexit [the play] has some hysterical – and worryingly plausible – predictions. What have celebrity guests and audiences been saying? Time to get booking!
After the success of its 2018 premiere, Brexit, co-written by Robert Khan and Tom Salinsky, has returned to the King’s Head Theatre for a limited season.
The year is 2020, and the 18-month negotiating period for Brexit is now in its fourth year with new Tory Leader and Prime Minister Adam Masters at the helm. He was the only candidate every Tory could agree on, and he has a plan to solve Brexit… if only he could remember it.
The 2019 company are David Benson as PM Adam Masters, Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Jessica Fostekew and returning cast members Adam Astill and Thom Tuck.
Audience reactions
Across the political divide, Brexit wins the vote from Labour MPs Rupa Huq and Karen Buck, as well as other celebrity guests including Samuel West, Jess Robinson and Susan Wokoma.
