It's vital that we see our leaders lampooned with cutting satire and yes, whacked over the head with a big stick.’  World famous celebrities will be thrown together as Tom Cruise is tasked by King Charleswith saving Great Britain. Greta Thunberg duets with Stormzy as Putin and Xi watch on from their premium seats in the stalls.
