Being a Scornful Account of the Activities of Mr Boris Johnson and ‘Others’ during the Pandemic and its Aftermath. Written by Mr Armando Iannucci. Directed by Mr Patrick Marber.
A funny, wild ongoing history play about how our great leaders grappled first with the Pandemic and then with each other.
The Johnson-Truss-Sunak years told at a furious pace in all their horrible glory. Relive the horror! The Mess! The Murk! The lying about the lies!
It’s one big dodgy party.
“Iannucci’s point is the pandemic saw heroic actions aplenty from the nation, but few and far between from the inhabitants of Downing Street […] a very funny play indeed, but serious and respectful to those who served and those who suffered” The Reviews Hub
Pandemonium played at Soho Theatre from 1 December 2023 to 13 January 2024. It will be revived in Autumn 2024.
