A Walk On Part
A Live Theatre & Soho Theatre co-production in association with New Writing North
From the diaries of Chris Mullin
Adapted for the stage by Michael Chaplin
Directed by Max Roberts
Take a ringside seat and enjoy an insider’s view of the last and most turbulent decade in politics as the critically acclaimed and witty diaries of former MP for Sunderland South, Chris Mullin, return to the stage.
Chris served Sunderland South as its MP for 23 years, retiring last year after serving as a Minister in three Government departments, including the Foreign Office​, as well as a distinguished and influential back-bencher. Shortly after leaving Parliament, he published the second volume of his diaries to universal acclaim, many critics suggesting that they offer the clearest insight into the
Blair and Brown years.
Live Theatre and Soho Theatre bring Mullin’s witty, irreverent take on contemporary politics to the stage,
reflecting three worlds during a time of crisis and change – the febrile political village of Westminster, the flash points of Africa he toured as a Minister and the fragile community he served as an MP.
"…the diaries have been adapted by Michael Chaplin into a fast-paced and very funny theatrical entertainment, in which Mullin frequently appears to be a lone swimmer paddling against a tide of self-interest” * * * * The Guardian
"Honest, funny and revealing - a great night out" The Stage
