Boris the Third

When Boris Johnson was 18 he played Richard III. Apparently, he wasn’t prepared, didn’t learn his lines and the result was chaos. Boris the Third is a comedy imagining of what that school play might have been like. Will young Boris play the clown, charming his critics, or will he be remembered as the villain? A possible origin story for one of the most colourful and divisive figures in modern British politics. This is one illicit party you won’t want to miss. Written and directed by Adam Meggido, starring Mischief Theatre favourite, Harry Kershaw, as Boris.
