The award-winning comedy YES, PRIME MINISTER, returns to the West End starring Simon Williams and Richard McCabe in a hilarious version written specifically for the stage by original writers Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn. 

Following a critically acclaimed West End run (Best New Comedy Award – Whatsonstage.com Awards 2011) and a hugely successful national tour, Sir Humphrey Appleby and Jim Hacker are back by popular demand for a limited 10 week run at The Apollo Theatre from July 6.

The original writers of these classic series, Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn reunited for this anniversary production and now the Prime Minister Jim Hacker, his Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby and his Principal Private Secretary Bernard Woolley are all back, in a brand new play.

The world, of course, has turned meanwhile. Spin has become an art form and the BlackBerry is the must-have accessory. Dossiers have been ‘sexed up’, the ‘special relationship’ put to the test and countless MPs have stood down to ’spend more time with their families’.
 
But great institutions have a way of riding punches and bouncing back unscathed for the next round.
 
Will it prove so for Jim Hacker and his coterie of close advisors? Especially with the country on the brink of financial meltdown and the Government’s only apparent salvation coming from an unlikely quarter – a morally dubious deal with the Foreign Minister of Kumranistan.
