We’re all totally obsessed with politics: while loathing nearly every element of the ever-shocking, oft-bewildering power plays of the elected few, we still can’t help spending our precious free time devouring their every move in newspapers and newsfeeds.
It makes sense, then, that audiences might want to sit down for an evening of more politics at the theatre, and even more sense that we enjoy seeing our politicians and historical figures dissected on stage in wicked and amusing forms.
