Britain in 1956: the Suez Crisis. Prime Minister Anthony Eden,
described by a colleague as ‘half mad baronet and half beautiful
woman’, is faced with the terrible possibility of leading his
country into war. His health is collapsing. His friends, colleagues
and opponents, among them Hugh Gaitskell and Ian Fleming and his
wife Ann, are facing crises of their own, crises of conscience and
crises of the heart. Hugh Whitemore’s new play is a true epic: a
suspenseful thriller, an achingly romantic love story and a
fascinating examination of a flashpoint in our history which still
resonates today. What is the cost of an ‘illegal’ war?
