Rowntree's Wall — Mark Thompson

A play. The world is in economic meltdown after America elects someone blindingly unsuitable as President, whose brash statements about China, India and any other country that moves destroys completely the world's economy. Revolutions happen throughout the world and new governments spring up left, right and centre. Britain is one of the last countries to succumb to the pressure but eventually concedes, making way for the first ever 'social media election', leading to a Geordie Shore MP. James Rowntree (belonging to an new centre-left political party) finds himself as PM and thinks up a radical strategy for sorting the country's economy. But, in such an extreme time are extreme measures justified?
