NEWS: Full West End Cast Announced for I’m Sorry Prime minister

Complete casting has now been confirmed for I’m Sorry Prime Minister, which is transferring to London following a run at the Barn Theatre in Cirencester.

Griff Rhys Jones returns to the West End as former Prime Minister Jim Hacker and Clive Francis, who reprises the role of Humphrey Appleby, previously played by him at the Barn Theatre.

The cast is also set to include: William Chubb as Sir David and Stephanie Levi-John as Sophie, alongside Princess Donnough, Eliza Walters, Jeremy Rose, Robert Kitson and Dominic McChesney.

Jim Hacker  is back — older, but perhaps not wiser, and still utterly baffled by the real world. Hoping for a quiet retirement at the tranquil Hacker College, Oxford, Jim instead finds himself facing the ultimate modern crisis: cancelled by the college committee.

Enter the delightfully devious Sir Humphrey Appleby (played by the acclaimed Clive Francis), who has lost none of his love for bureaucracy, Latin phrases, and well-timed obstruction.

Can Humphrey out manoeuvre the meddling students, the Fellowship, and reality itself?

The production is co-directed by Jonathan Lynn and ichael Gyngell, with Nadia Papachronopoulou serving as assistant director. Design is by Lee Newby, with sound design by the Ringham Brothers and lighting design by Mark Henderson. Carol Lingwood is the costume supervisor, while casting is handled by Marc Frankum and Jonathan Russell. Video design is by Leo Flint.
