  Whipping it Up 

  

  By Steve Thompson,

  Directed by Ian Wainwright & Milly Gladstone

  Tuesday 18 - Saturday  22 August 19:45 with afternoon matinee at 15:00 on Saturday 22 August.

  Putney Arts Theatre - Studio

  About the play:
  

  A quick-witted political satire set in the Whips' office at Westminster, Whipping it Up is a play about the grubby wheeling and dealing that go on behind the scenes and off camera as the Whips employ any means at their disposal in order to get wavering MPs to vote the 'right' way.

  It's a week before Christmas in an alternative 2010, and the new Tory government is facing dissent over its latest Bill. With a majority of only three, the Whips' office is out in full force, and they’Il stop at nothing to keep the strays in line. Written in the twilight of the last Labour government, the play explores privilege, class and fears about what happens when the “old boys club” seize power.

  About the play:
  

  Till The Stars Come Down is both hilarious and tragic family drama. It’s full of love and loss, secrets and lies, humour and despair. The action is played out during one day in a former mining town in Nottinghamshire.

  It's the day of Sylvia’s wedding to Marek and the family is excited and overflowing with good wishes for their future happiness, until the vodka starts flowing, and resentments and secrets threaten the day’s harmony….

  Beth Steel's play Till the Stars Come Down premiered at the National Theatre in January 2024 and transferred to the West End in 2025. The play was shortlisted for Best Play at the 2025 Standard Theatre Awards.

  Review Quotes for National Theatre production of Till The Stars Come Down:

  'Beth Steel's play has it all: the earthy humour tingling with originality, the canvas both big and small and the larger-than-life characters bouncing to life before us in pain, joy, and laughter... a masterclass in multi-layered conversational naturalism... rollicking, complex and bearing the tragic inevitability of Greek drama'

  Guardian

  'Stunning... a modern classic... a magnificent combination of earthiness and explosions of half-suppressed emotion... It's a mighty achievement'

  The Times

  'Beautifully observed and often bruisingly hilarious... a rich, multifaceted character study of an entire family... you'd have to be made of stone not to laugh like a drain... it's wonderfully written, building to a dynamite final scene... a funny, heartbreaking piece of writing'

  ABOUT THE PLAY:

  We have lost America, we may lose the King.

  The nation stands on the brink of constitutional crises: when those who rule are no longer fit for the job, what does power look like?  Who gets to make decisions in their absence?

  In Bennett’s beautifully wrought portrayal of George III, divine right meets the frailty of the human body.  His exploration of the King’s first significant period of mental illness is as tender as it is brutal, as humour counterpoises the horrors of 18^th Century medicine.  The Madness of George III examines kingship, identity, health and the tensions between public and private life with wit and a deftness of touch.

  Originally performed at the National Theatre in 1991 before embarking on a tour of the UK and USA, the play was adapted for the screen and released in 1994 under the title The Madness of King George.

  This amateur production of "The Madness of George III" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French, Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
