On the Rocks

A political comedy by Bernard Shaw, updated by Michael Healey. Interesting to watch, but not a convincing political theory, unless you are still a devotee of Ayn Rand and other right wing groups. The Prime Minister returns from a spa convinced that he has all the answers to solve poverty, unemployment etc. He leads a minority government, but so what? he will simply prorogue parliament and do what he wants. Sounds eerily familiar, does it not? hardly surprising with Healey doing the updating. A very solid cast in a mediocre play of ideas. Not Shaw at his best, but still Shaw at their best.
