Producers have released new production images for the West End run of I’m Sorry, Prime Minister, now playing at the Apollo Theatre ahead of its press night on 12 February. Tickets are available from www.imsorryprimeminister.com.
Griff Rhys Jones returns to the West End as former Prime Minister Jim Hacker, with Clive Francis reprising his performance as Sir Humphry Appleby following his previous appearance at The Barn Theatre.
Written and directed by BAFTA Award winner Jonathan Lynn, the show marks the final chapter in the beloved Yes, Minister universe. Co directed by Michael Gyngell, the comedy sees the pair navigating their later years and confronting an unexpected retirement crisis.
The production also features William Chubb as Sir David and Stephanie Levi John as Sophie, with Princess Donnough, Eliza Walters, Jeremy Rose, Robert Kitson and Dominic McChesney completing the cast.
With the sharp political wit that defined Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister, this new play follows an older but still bewildered Jim Hacker as he faces cancellation at Hacker College, Oxford. Sir Humphrey arrives with his trademark fondness for bureaucracy and well timed obstruction.
Packed with nostalgia, intricate double speak and biting satire, I’m Sorry, Prime Minister offers a timely reflection on British politics while celebrating the legacy of one of television’s most enduring comedies.
