About the Play

On the eve of a general election, the Prime Minister suddenly drops dead — or so it seems. Fearing electoral disaster without his charisma, two desperate cabinet members recruit an out-of-work actor to step into the PM’s shoes until the votes are cast. At first, it’s an amusing charade — a political performance played for laughs. But the role soon becomes dangerously real. The actor discovers that the Prime Minister wasn’t felled by a heart attack at all — he was poisoned. What begins as a playful deception spirals into a deadly game of murder, conspiracy, and ambition, laced with a wicked streak of dark comedy.
