Trafalgar Studios, 14 Whitehall, London until 27 January 2007
Parliament is in session and one of the shining stars of the New Labour
cabinet takes his seat in the House. Meet Alan B’stard, impeccably
pin-striped, nose aloft, stalking the corridors of power leaving a trail
of devastation in his wake.
Despite having a country to run, and regardless of who’s in Number
10, B’Stard is only concerned with joining the Trillionaires Club,
and he doesn’t care how he gets the membership fee! This exclusive
club boasts eight shadowy figures who own most of the world’s oil (three
yanks, two Arabs, an Indian, a Russian and that guy who invented milk cartons).
Condoleezza Rice has the key, but will she allow Alan access all areas?
Join Alan B’Stard as Blair prepares for his farewell tour and the
cabinet discuss the issues of the day – school dinners, unmarried mothers,
what the Blairs will do next, and most importantly, should Beckham be reinstated
as Captain…
Rik Mayall’s hilarious comedy creation is brought bang up to date
in this new production by the writers of the original hit TV series, Laurence
Marks and Maurice Gran.
