What’s it about?

Arthur Wing Pinero’s classic farce is a story of marriage, blackmail and class, centred on the troubles of Sir Julian Twombley: his wife and son have run up massive debts and his political reputation is in the balance. The House of Commons is far from a safe space for him and the newspapers are sniffing blood. Can he save face and hang on to his sanity?
