Beschrijving
A play about what happens when a Prime Minister ad-libs on live TV, exploring how language seeps into public consciousness and reverberates with far-reaching consequences that will last for generations. Premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London.
'A fascinating new play exploring the insidious potential of bland language... skewers a particularly British kind of bigotry... there's so much about this play that'll stick in your throat: a reminder that words can wound, however bland they might sound'
'Playful, thoughtful, and deliciously up-to-the-minute... Often hilarious, sometimes moving, this play about how words matter has a cumulative power'
'Amusing and boldly, excitingly experimental... Hussain's script shines in sudden moments of lyrical outrage'
'Audacious, incisive and emotive'
'A turbo-charged lesson in minding your language... thought-provoking and explosive'
