Today, I had YAC (as I do every saturday) and we had a read through of the play, just sitting down. I've come to the conclusion that it's a very funny play, with lots of interesting irony (inc. dramatic irony) and great one liners like 'Get the mob and throw them in prison! There's space now I've realised all the rapists'. If you're available over Christmas, I recommend you come and see it, since it'd be a good laugh and it would nice to have some support.
In a nutshell, it's a corrupt Russian Government that have been fairly busy lining their own pocket with huge sums of money, rigging elections, and the Ministers have been doing all sorts of corrupt activities, like using the yet unopened (because they have no money) hospital as a film set for a popular soap and beating up those who oppose the government. They get word that a UN Inspector is due to arrive to check how they are running the country. Peter Robchinski and Peter Dobchinksi, two aides of the President, find a 'smart' looking man in a Marriott Hotel, believing him to be the UN Inspector, and immediately the President begins to spend tens of thousands of pounds on this over-the-top, arrogant Estate Agent called Martin Gammon.
Everything goes a bit balls-up. But it's very funny, so I recommend you come, see and enjoy.
I'm trying to write a blog post a day, since I do enjoy it, and I thought it would be interesting to write about the play in case anyone was tempted to come and see it.
