Recenzii

Hold the front page: a huge hit
Thrillingly dynamic and rambunctiously entertaining...a hell of a story
In the last five years James Graham has established himself as British playwriting's prolific new wunderkind, and here he once again probes the thorny relationships that are the essence of political life.
What's striking is just how coherent this up-to-the-minute response is.
