    The long-running London production of “The Government” is about to announce its new lead. Don’t worry, everything about the show is the same and you’ll still be able to buy refreshments during the interval - though the Cost of Living Crisis means prices for beers, wine and choc-ices have to be increased by 50%. “The Government” became a hit when it promised change to the usual Westminster shows but, over the last 50 years has declined in popularity.

    “Pure knockabout theatre,” is how one critic has described the show while Muddy Wokenfield of The Guardian called it “Vaudeville and Pantomime at it’s British best!”
