This is a great show - strong performances from James Corden and Anna Maxwell-Martin, funny lines and a tone that is always edgy but darkens gradually - and then brings you to tears. An excellent production, probably the best thing I've seen all yea Read more

What a good show for both James Corden (as the constituent) and Anna Mazwell Martin (as his MP) - showing how challenging the line is between supporting your constituents as an MP and not being able to be their friend.
