Terri trips: The Flies at the Bunker & Brexit at the King’s Head Theatre
Two of the Featured Show campaigns I’ve been working on recently have been two plays tapping into the political unrest of our times: the return of Tom Salinsky and Robert Khan’s Brexit comedy to the King’s Head Theatre and the Exchange Theatre’s tenth-anniversary revival of Jean-Paul Sartre’s classic The Flies.
‘A polished cast expertly deliver the political satire’: BREXIT – King’s Head Theatre
Robert Khan and Tom Salinsky could have come up with a more creative title for their acclaimed political comedy Brexit – but they didn’t really need to, given that actual Brexit has been a massive satire in and of itself for some time now.
‘Splendidly sharp & biting satire’: BREXIT – King’s Head Theatre
A revival of the play Brexit at the King’s Head Theatre, Islington is very much of the moment and stirs some classic sitcom memories.

Watch his back-t0-back leadership pitches to the ERG and Britain for Europe. Time to get booking for Brexit [the play]!

NEWS: Brexit goes ahead again at King’s Head with new cast members
A lawyer and an improv expert have created a version of Brexit that’s guaranteed to be delivered as promised. After two sell-out runs, Robert Khan and Tom Salinsky’s hit political comedy returns to London’s King’s Head Theatre this summer with a new cast.
‘There are decent laugh-out-loud jokes’: BREXIT – King’s Head Theatre ★★★
I wonder if in years to come we’ll look back on the ‘Theatre of Brexit’ in the same way we analyse Shakespeare’s treatment of Agincourt, or the Trojan Wars in Sophocles?
‘Witty & somewhat reinvigorating’: BREXIT – King’s Head Theatre ★★★★
Brexit is a farce. Of all the things Robert Khan and Tom Salinsky’s Brexit could have been, their critically-acclaimed satire about the current Euro-debacle is not the play this mired, political sham of ours deserves – it’s the one we need right now.
IMPOSSIBLE – Edinburgh Fringe
Good to start the Fringe-blitz with a winner . (Not that it was the first one that hit me as I lurched off the Caledonian Sleeper, but more of that later). I would rather rejoice in a fabulous return to form by writers Tom Salinsky and Robert Khan, whose COALITION I loved, but whose KINGMAKER last year, a Boris-fable, didn’t quite ring the bell.
