Yes Prime Minister at Bath Theatre Royal
About the show
It’s a tense weekend at Chequers. New Prime Minister Jim Hacker is facing a collapsing economy, party infighting, a hostile media – and Sir Humphrey Appleby. With a high stakes loan on the table and a Civil Service he’s not sure he can trust, Jim must save his premiership, and the economy, while outmanoeuvring his rivals and reasserting democratic control.
Packed with verbal sparring and laugh-out-loud logic, Yes, Prime Minister tackles modern political issues – financial crises, Europe, corruption – with razor-sharp wit and crystal clarity.
The prequel to I’m Sorry, Prime Minister, which enjoyed a West End run in Spring 2026, here writers Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn are faithful to the classic comedy you know and love, sharply updated for modern politics.
