Playwright
Eric Idle
Director
Peter Nettleton
It is the mid 1980s in England. Sir Robert Charles, Minister for Defence and Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party lies comatose after suffering a severe heart-attack during a vigorous debate on the floor of the House. His nearest and dearest are now faced with the agonising decision to switch off the life support systems, with all its legal, moral, political and possibly constitutional ramifications. Throw some papparazzi - and a spanner into the works - and you have the makings of a fast-paced, satirical comedy of bad manners.
