What is I’m Sorry, Prime Minister about?

I’m Sorry, Prime Minister is the final chapter of Yes, Minister, a scathing political satire sitcom. It is written and directed by one of the original writers, BAFTA Award-winning Jonathan Lynn. Griff Rhys Jones and Clive Francis (reprising his role) star as ex-Prime Minister Jim Hacker and his former Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby, both now in their eighties - a bit put out and bewildered by the way the world around them has changed.

This transfer follows runs at the Barn Theatre, Theatre Royal Bath, and Cambridge Arts Theatre, making this the first production from Barn Theatre to transfer to the West End, a testament to the show’s popularity and its lasting cultural impact.

Comedian Griff Rhys Jones called it ‘part of my architecture of British comedy’. So whether you’re a fan of the original series or you just appreciate good comedy and the chance to experience a razor-sharp, witty take on British politics, you’ll find yourself laughing along with I’m Sorry, Prime Minister at the Apollo Theatre.
