After a try-out in June, the Popular People’s Movement has returned to the White Bear Theatre en route to Westminster (or perhaps the West End?) care of An Honourable Man, a frighteningly timely new political drama written by Parliamentary insider Michael McManus. Check out our first-look production photos gallery – and then get booking!
“Brexit? Never mind Brexit. What if the Brexit vote, UKIP, even the BNP and the EDL – what if all that was just the beginning?”
Joe Newman is the mainstream Labour MP for a traditional, working-class constituency in the North of England – until Momentum try to oust him. Unwittingly, they unleash a populist tide that could destroy not only Labour and the Conservatives – but also every assumption anyone has ever made about what is acceptable in the mainstream of British politics.
The premiere production of Michael McManus‘ An Honourable Man, directed by Jolley Gosnold, stars Timothy Harker as Joe Newman, alongside Lisa Bowerman (as Anne), Max Keeble (Sam), Thomas Mahy (Josh), Dee Sadler (Liz) and Annie Tyson (Maggie), all reprising their roles from the summer showcase.
