Description
I am not your punch bag! I am a Member of Parliament! An MP with an instinct for compassion. An ex-serviceman with a life in free fall. And a parliamentary protection officer whos having none of it. This volatile new play by Olivier Award-winner Joe Penhall deconstructs politics, panic alarms and the conflict between public service and personal safety. Published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Old Vic starring Anna Maxwell Martin and James Corden in June 2024.
