Tony Blair the Musical
2007
In this, his final year in office, Blair's achievements and ideals are put under the spotlight - and given a tune. His ever-changing public image, his controversial foreign policy, and the things he sacrificed in the name of power are recreated through the unforgettable music of James Lark in an experience every bit as funny, gripping and important as Prime Minister's Question Time… just with more songs.
Io Theatre Company's latest production is a funny and controversial romp through the last ten years of British politics, combining hard-hitting satire with first-rate songs in one of the boldest pieces of political theatre ever produced. The show will run between 1st and 27th August at the Gilded Balloon as part of the 2007 Edinburgh festival Fringe, with London previews in July.
