Description Started life as a late night production, became a success, was taken on tour and returned to the Hannah Playhouse with the final accolade of being part of the main bill… It is topical, debunking, fast, satirical (at times) and funny (at times)…. Apart from some nice swipes at SPUC, our foreign policy, TV interviews and nuclear power, I found the ending of the show so ludicrous that it negated all the previous points.
