Cultures and principles clash in James Graham’s biting comedy about love and the Labour Party: Labour of Love.
June 2017: a Labour Party office in North Nottinghamshire. Labour MP of 27 years, David Lyons, waits anxiously for the results of the General Election. For the first time in a century, his constituency might be turning blue, despite Labour gains elsewhere.
David and his constituency agent, Jean, come from opposite sides of the party, with diffeent cultures and values. They’ve witnessed many changes within the Labour movement over the years and through it all they’ve worked together side-by-side.
All this is pulled into sharp focus by the return of David’s ex-wife, Elizabeth, who suggests they give their marriage another try…
Having guided the MP through six successive victories, is his fiery constituency agent prepared to see him lose now on the home front?
