The Story Unfolds: Origins and Evolution
I'm Sorry, Prime Minister is the long-awaited final chapter in the beloved political satire series that began with the BAFTA Award-winning Yes, Minister (1980) and Yes, Prime Minister (1986), co-created by Jonathan Lynn and Antony Jay.
Now reimagined for the stage by Jonathan Lynn, this brand-new play sees Jim Hacker attempting to enjoy a peaceful retirement at Oxford’s Hacker College—until he’s abruptly “cancelled” by the college committee. Enter Sir Humphrey Appleby, armed with bureaucracy, Latin quotations, and his signature talent for sabotage.
With its roots in the golden era of British TV comedy, the show offers fans a fresh yet familiar dive into the chaos of politics, power, and public image.
