OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Conor Farrington 

  • Synopsis

    Set in the fictional state of Cardomam - a fence sitting state between East and West - and performed to the rules of the Classical Theatre of Cardomam (no scenery used, actors introduce themselves and explain what they're getting at where nessecary), this satirical comedy has as it's central character, a breezy old cynic of a Prime Minister who finds politics fun and has ambitions for his son. No men survive the authors wrath, admin-men, admen, Tellymen, Pollymen, soldiermen, no men...At the end the only man left lectures to a bunch of post fallout children.
