Satirist Alistair Beaton has just launched an intriguing play about the Royal Family, across in Hampstead. The King Of Hearts examines how a prime minister and leader of the opposition would behave when faced with the possibility of the soon-to-be-crowned king converting to Islam.
With the reigning king at death's door and the heir to the throne in love with a British Muslim girl, there is consternation in the Establishment. The main response of the mainly overlapping prime minister and opposition leader is to consider how to engineer advantage from the situation.
Beaton's writing is always entertaining; the Blunkett play called A Very Social Secretary, the anti-war Follow My Leader and recently The Trial of Tony Blair.
