Following their smash hit Edinburgh Fringe debut, THUNK Productions presents PARATROOPERS at the Hope Theatre!
Frank Fletcher, long-time senior MP for Cackby has suddenly died. Labour Party members have gathered at North Cackby Community Arts Centre to choose a successor. But when Mackenzie Steele and Connor Banks happen to be the only "high-quality" candidates born in Cackby, how much of a choice do you really have?
Co-written by Daniel Patten and Sol Alberman, and starring Daniel Patten and Alasdair Coulter, PARATROOPERS charts the not very high rises and embarrassingly low falls of Banks and Steele. PARATROOPERS is a pointed and precise exposé of Labour's selections system, and a hard-hitting warning of the grim direction the Labour Party, and Britain, are headed.
