“This easily entertaining show humorously charts Truss’s lifetime of egotism and vacuousness, although it lacks the extra bite that would make it truly satirical gold.” By Maggie O'Shea, Mar 4 · 3/5 stars

Critics' Take
Emma Wilkinson Wright delivers an assured performance in this frantic farce about Britain's shortest-serving PM, but critics find it relies too heavily on cheap laughs and lacks the satirical bite to match its ripe subject matter.

“In truth, I didn't find a great deal of it especially amusing, (perhaps the detail is still too raw?) but the light groaning and nods of recognition from the largely middle-aged white males ranged about the audience, was encouraging.” By Stuart King, Mar 5 · 3/5 stars
“Sadly, a reliance on quick-fix easy laughs removes any possibility of that.” By Sara West, Mar 6 · 2/5 stars
“Alas, it was dull, humourless, and felt like a chore.” A Youngish Perspective Staff, Mar 6 · 1/5 stars
