Synopsis: | A new comedy based on the recent MP's expenses scandal Newly elected Labour MP Meg Jones finds herself in the front line of the expenses scandal, while her husband falls for a classic newspaper honey trap. Their lives and their marriage disintegrate before the relentlessly cruel headlines. But was it their fault - or are they convenient scapegoats for much bigger fraudsters? The financiers who surround them were having their own troubles, and the journalists who exposed them were not so clean as the liked to sound. This is the third play written and directed as a collaboration between director Joanna Turner and playwright Francis Beckett. | |||||
