A quick-witted satirical farce set in the Whips’ office at Westminster.
It’s a week before Christmas, and the new Tory government is facing dissent over its latest Bill. With a majority of only three, the Whips’ office is out in full force, and they’ll stop at nothing to keep the strays in line.
But they’re in for a long night: boy scouts are rioting in Whitehall, the PM’s golfing with the President, five Tory rebels are on the loose and the Chief Whip’s playing at Santa – could this be the beginnings of a leadership challenge?
Whipping It Up is a fast-moving switchback of a play, with more twists and double-bluffs than a poker game between conmen.
