Details

It's party conference time again, and in the leader's hotel suite the spin doctors are sweating over the Prime Minister's speech. With public opinion increasingly volatile, there's panic at the top. This time it's got to be perfect. Meanwhile, in the same hotel, a journalist is piecing together a scandal that could bring down the government, something so far-reaching that it could keep the party out of power for a generation. What will happen if they find out? Can the story be killed? Can the journalist be bought off? Exactly how far will a government go to save itself and come up smelling of roses? This production contains language which some may find offensive.
