It’s 2040 and a late-night news show is running a retrospective on the government’s handling of the Covid-19 Pandemic. In the studio with sharp-tongued presenter, Judith Harper-Jones, is ex-PM Lord Johnson. As the peer struggles to explain the inexplicable, a series of characters take the audience through the comic and the tragic aspects of the crisis.
This show is not afraid to ask profound questions: What is the proper relationship between state and individual? What makes a life worth living? And does a scotch egg really constitute a substantial meal?
With satirical numbers like, The Laws are Set in Stone and He’s Gonna Save Christmas, combined with the pathos of songs like, Fading Away and We’re All Key Workers After All, this musical romp provides thought-provoking satire and a much-needed Covid boost - without the need for a fourth jab.
