Peter Ryan MP has run an authentic, honest, old school campaign to hang on to his Merseyside seat in the face of mounting pressure from the right. He’s been out on the streets. He’s knocked on doors. He’s played by the rules.

He’s lost…

But will Peter let the small matter of a devastating shock defeat at the ballot box keep him from serving his community? Armed with a fierce sense of right and wrong, a small, dedicated (and slightly confused) staff, and a pistol that’s older than one of Keir Starmer’s dad’s tools- he’s making a stand against the worst excesses of modern politics.

Come and join us behind the barricades as we find out what happens when the straw finally smashes through the camel’s back. Lawrence Quilty’s brand new comedy is a show for the many, not the few that will have you rising up out of your seats to join the fight.
