About I’m Sorry, Prime Minister

Jim Hacker thought he had it made with a peaceful retirement. He settled into academia as the master of Hacker College, Oxford. That was, until a modern scandal threatens to upend everything he has built for himself. When a committee moves forward to usurp his position, Hacker finds himself running back to the only person ruthless enough to help. Book I’m Sorry, Prime Minister tickets on London Theatre.

Sir Humphrey Appleby is still obstructive and elegant as ever, and deeply committed to the fine art of bureaucratic delay. He also happens to be the only person Hacker can rely on in his time of need. As the duo reunites, they must attempt to save Hacker’s position in a political landscape that is quite different from the one they once waded through.

I’m Sorry, Prime Minister is a play that is written and directed by Jonathan Lynn. This show is meant to be the final installment of a deeply beloved British satire, masterfully balancing audiences’ nostalgia with poignant social commentary on the state of the world. If you love humour that deftly exposes power infrastructure, this play is for you.

I’m Sorry, Prime Minister in London stars Griff Rhys Jones as Jim Hacker, and Clive Francis as Sir Humphrey Appleby. They are also joined by William Chubb, Stephanie Levi-John, and an ensemble that includes Princess Donnough, Eliza Waters, Jeremy Rose, Robert Kitson, and Dominic McChesney.

Cutting and absolutely brilliant, I’m Sorry, Prime Minister promises an uproarious night of theatre, delivering the plight of a modern dilemma and a final round of red tape that you won’t regret getting lost in. Now playing at the Apollo Theatre for a strictly limited run.
