Synopsis

by James Graham

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Curtis Brown Group Ltd, Cunard House, 15 Regent Street, London SW1Y 4LR

Directed by Chris Winstanley

“So up is down, left is right, right is wrong. Behold the new politics.”

Labour of Love is a witty and heartfelt comedy that explores the shifting political landscape of the party politics through the eyes of MP David Lyons and his sharp-tongued constituency agent, Jean Whittaker.

As they navigate decades of party infighting, leadership changes, and electoral battles, their fiery yet deeply loyal relationship provides both hilarity and warmth.

Graham’s script crackles with sharp dialogue, revealing the clash between idealism and pragmatism in politics, while also delivering touching moments of personal sacrifice and friendship. Set in a constantly evolving political world, Labour of Love is not just about policy and power – it’s about people, their relationships, and the humour that helps them survive even the most turbulent of times.

The production contains strong language and flashing images.
