Our Tuesday slot in which we point you in the direction of other great happenings and events in our great city. A new exhibition, a gig, a museum, a pop-up-shop – the best of London within a few minutes of a London Walks walking tour.
Was Gordon Brown our worst Prime Minister in 200 years? The play puts him out there warts and all – but the intelligence in the writing and the humanity in the performance ensures that the piece is no mere dull bludgeon. Insightful and horribly funny, it's a great night. Might we suggest that writer Kevin Toolis and performer Ian Grieve could team up to give us a one-man-show on every Prime Minister. Mr Grieve would make an admirable Thatcher. And his Lord North would make the perfect companion piece for a debate on Brown. Because surely old Northy was the worst P.M of all… in 1776 he presided over the tragic loss of our favorite colony, after all, some little disagreement about tea, if I remember correctly…
