John Bull

Bradshaw have tackled a wide variety of subjects over the years but basing a new play around a lump of rock is going a bit even for us. Not just any rock, mind you, THE rock if you don't mind, that big one stuck on the bottom of Spain. Throw in our national hero, a scaled-down bulldog on a bungy rope, a dozy Spanish King and that bird who used to adorn the back of a 50p piece and it's UKIP versus the European Union. Loud choruses of Rule Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory are, of course, obligatory, plus putting the boot into the French. What more could you want?
