The Reluctant Peer
This specific production does not yet have a description, but the play itself does:
Comedy turning on a Prime Minister’s resignation through illness and the requirement for his successor to renounce his peerage – echoing the situation faced in October 1963 by the playwright’s elder brother, Sir Alec Douglas-Home.
