Feed the Beast

A fiercely funny look at the rocky relations between our press and politicians in a world of spin-doctors and Leveson Inquiries, from the award-winning writer of Damages, Whipping It Up, Roaring Trade and the highly-acclaimed BBC programmes Sherlock and Doctor Who. Michael is moving into Number 10 Downing Street and there will be no charm offensives with this Prime Minister, not with a country to run. There''s no time for lunches with the press while there are children living in poverty. And there''s certainly no time to comment on a minister''s illicit affair while the country needs more nurses. But when his family''s private life looks set to be the next big story, Michael seeks help from a press secretary who advises, Feed the beast before it turns on you . Can Michael keep politics centre stage or will he become the big story himself? Feed the Beast premiered at the Birmingham Repetory Theatre Studio in April 2015. See more
