Hansard

Monday 27 April - Saturday 2 May 2026

It's a Saturday morning in 1988 and Tory cabinet minister Robin Hesketh has returned home to the idyllic Cotswold house he shares with his wife of 30 years, Diana.

But all is not as blissful as it seems: Diana has a stinking hangover, a fox is destroying the garden, and secrets are being dug up all over the place. As the day draws on, what starts as gentle ribbing and witty marital sparring quickly turns to blood-sport.

This tender and brutal comedy/drama, set around the passing of the Section 28 legislation in 1988, is a witty and devastating portrait of the British governing class.
