From satire to the stage: Harry Hill writes Tony Blair opera for London’s West End | ITV News

ITV News published this video item, entitled “From satire to the stage: Harry Hill writes Tony Blair opera for London’s West End | ITV News” – below is their description.

Politics is a serious business but it is surely good for democracy – and for voters’ spirits – that every once in a while, a work of satire pokes fun at our elected leaders.

The latest has been written by ITV’s own Harry Hill and his long-term collaborator Steve Brown.

According to the PR blurb, it charts how a peace-loving, long-haired hippy and would-be pop star became a war-mongering multimillionaire in just a couple of decades.

Guessed already? Put it this way: Harry is not expecting Sir Tony Blair to come and see himself portrayed on stage anytime soon.
