I’M SORRY, PRIME MINISTER – Direct from the West End

From the BAFTA Award-winning co-creator of Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister, Jonathan Lynn, comes the long-awaited final chapter of British political satire – and it is as cunning, cutting, and catastrophically funny as ever.

Jim Hacker is back – older, but perhaps not wiser, and still utterly baffled by the real world. Hoping for a quiet retirement at the tranquil Hacker College, Oxford, Jim instead finds himself facing the ultimate modern crisis: cancelled by the college committee.

Enter the delightfully devious Sir Humphrey Appleby who has lost none of his love for bureaucracy, Latin phrases, and well-timed obstruction.

Can Humphrey outmanoeuvre the meddling students, the Fellowship, and reality itself?

Or is it finally time to say, “I’m Sorry, Prime Minister…”?

Brimming with razor-sharp wit, nostalgic brilliance, and more double-speak than a press briefing, this is political comedy at its most timeless – and timely.

Book now for a night of laughter, legacy, and one last glorious round of red tape, I’m Sorry, Prime Minister.
