The full cast will include Griff Rhys Jones as the ex-Prime Minister Jim Hacker, alongside Clive Francis as Sir Humphrey Appleby, William Chubb (Witness for the Prosecution, London County Hall) in the role of Sir David and Stephanie Levi-John (The Winter's Tale, National Theatre) in the role of Sophie. Completing the cast is Princess Donnough, Eliza Walters, Jeremy Rose, Robert Kitson and Dominic McChesney.

The acclaimed British comedy series originally aired from 1980 to 1984 and again from 1986 to 1988. A sharp and witty political satire, it follows Jim Hacker, a government official hoping for a quiet retirement as the head of Hacker College, Oxford. But instead of peace, Hacker finds himself facing the ultimate modern crisis...

The play will see the pair in their old age, facing up to life in their retirement. I'm Sorry, Prime Minister will be as cutting and catastrophically funny as ever.

I'm Sorry, Prime Minister will play at the Apollo Theatre from 30 January to 9 May 2026.
