Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Jeremy Corbyn Perform BREXODUS! THE MUSICAL

The show that has to run to keep up - "from Eton mess to dog's breakfast"
TODAY DON'T WE ALL NEED SOME COMIC RELIEF? A year into the Brexit process, Brexodus! The Musical will help you put the whole thing into perspective.
When Theresa May triggered Article 50 on March 29th, that might have been a fitting end to the tragicomedy. But it was just the beginning of a fresh series of twists and turns leading to a botched election and yet more political disorder - far from strong and stable.
Brexodus! The Musical is running hard to keep up. As Brexit the Musical earlier this year it covered the period from the Scottish referendum to Theresa May's first days as a Brexiteer PM. The expanded and updated version follows the continuing misfortunes of the Brexiteers, the election, and the conspiracies of the Bresistance. Will it end in tears? Does it matter?
All this and more, in satire and song, can be seen at The Other Palace, Westminster, from July 11th to 15th.
David Shirreff, veteran writer of four satirical musicals reckons this could be his last. Could he ever find or invent another story as rich in farce as the one we have experienced over the past twelve months? This one, it seems, will run and run.
The crazy history is stitched into a drama of words and music. Boris, Cameron, Gove, Farage, Theresa May, Trump, Putin and many more are caught up in a whirl of banter and comic song.
David Shirreff (words), Russell Sarre and Frederick Appleby (music). Directed by Lucy Appleby (no relation)
