July 6th, 2010 by BroadwayBox Team

The classic television satire, written by Jonathan Lynn and Antony Jay, receives a timely stage adaptation, starring Laurence Olivier Award winners Henry Goodman and David Haig.

Yes, Prime Minister finds British PM Jim Hacker and Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby running a country facing up to financial meltdown. Their only hope for salvation lies with some morally dubious allies, which leads, as one might expect, to deliciously comic consequences.
