Yes, Prime Minister extends to March 2013 at Trafalgar Studios

Jonathan Lynn and Antony Jay’s hit production of Yes, Prime Minister has extended its run once more at Trafalgar Studios until 30th March 2013. Following its opening at Chichester Festival Theatre in the Spring of 2010, Yes, Prime Minister has become one of the most successful political plays ever to have run in the West End. Yes, Prime Minister has played at the Gielgud, the Apollo and now the Trafalgar Studios, proving that there is a strong appetite for quality commercial drama in the West End. 

Jay and Lynn’s BAFTA award-winning political comedy Yes, Minister first aired on BBC2 in 1980 and ran between 1980 and 1984. Following the success of this stage production, six new episodes starring the original West End actors David Haig as Prime Minister Jim Hacker and Henry Goodman as Sir Humphrey Appleby have now been recorded at the BBC studios where the original series were filmed. The episodes will be aired in January and is set to be one of the television highlights of early 2013. 

Review: Yes, Prime Minister at the Trafalgar Studios

Yes, Prime Minister

Trafalgar Studios

Performance: Thursday 26th October 2012 (Evening)

Yes, Prime Minister is back in the West End for its third West End run, this time at the Trafalgar Studios. The comedy is by the original BBC writers Antony Jay & Jonathan Lynnthrusts. Many people will be familiar with much loved characters Sir Humphrey Appleby and Jim Hacker who are thrust into the chaos of 21st century coalition politics. With the threat of financial meltdown just hours away, and the only hope of rescue resting on a morally dubious deal with the Foreign Minister of Kumranistan, the stage is set for a riotous comedy of sex, scandal and scheming.
