CAMP Theatre presents Hansard Wed 6 Nov @ 7:30pm Tickets £12
May 1988. Robin Hesketh, a junior minister in Margaret Thatcher’s Government, comes home to his idyllic Cotswold
residence two days after passing the notorious Section 28 that prohibited the “promotion of homosexuality” by
Local Authorities. But life is not as blissful as it seems. The foxes have dug up his garden, his wife has a hangover
and the fridge is empty. A morning of comical marital sparring evolves into something darker and deeper as an
incident from the past tests their relationship to its limits. This funny, brutal and ultimately touching play was
premiered at the National Theatre in 2019. In Election Year there could not be a better time for its revival.
