Steve Richards, by-line picture.

Steve Richards and his legendary one man show on British politics.

The award winning author and BBC presenter brings his legendary one man show on British politics to Belfast. With the help of the audience he will make sense of the wild oscillations at Westminster, the characters struggling to stay afloat, and the deeper currents that are propelling the storms.

Steve takes audiences behind the scenes, conveying the high theatre, the comedy and the tragedy of politics in Britain. With insights, unreliable predictions, and questions, join us for this political therapy in disturbing times!
