DRAMATIS PERSONAE

 

DAVEY DAVEY: The only role they could find for him was as a strange sort of stalking-horse for Fat Bore-us, if a tired old nag that bolts at midnight can be thought of as a stalking-horse. What a dick. He was going to change his stage name to 'Dick Dick' but has been told not to bother because he won't be appearing anywhere again.

 

GOVE-PUPPET:  Not much talent on display here. The scene in which he assassinates Fat Bore-us is typical of the unconvincing twists in the clumsy plot.

 

FAT BORE-US: Undecided whether to play a buffoon or villain, he wrote his own part as a villainous buffoon. It's simply not convincing that anyone could be so disloyal to his leader, his party or his country at such a crucial time. Equally hard to believe is that anyone could be solely motivated by personal vanity and ambition. LATE NEWS: Incredibly, at this late stage, he is trying to convince others to add a final scene he is now hurriedly writing. In this, the ghost of Bore-us would rise from the dead and grasp the battered crown. He is being counselled against such ridiculous action. It would turn a fourth-rate comedy into a fifth-rate horror story.

 

THE MAYGULL: She plays a convincing part as a battered old bird flapping gamely on to a dangerous land called Brexit, pursued by a flock of angry, self-seeking crows. Will she reach it? She probably won’t even make it to the rocky shores of No Deal.

 

SUPPORTING CAST: This consists of numerous bemused politicians, who run around aimlessly. Some, like Jacob Rees-Mogg, have a genuine comic talent, but this tired old script doesn't make goodof it.

 

 

PLOT

​

This has countless flaws. Its many twists and turns simply don't ring true. The whole script has been sloppily put together as a poor sequel to cash in on the very brief popularity of the daring original Decameron Gambles With Our Futures.

 

PUBLIC REACTION

 

 

This farce has received a poor public reaction. People were much more interested in the rival comedy: 'Bore-us Gets Trapped in a Letter-Box'. This hastily thrown together sequel to 'Decameron Gambles with Our Futures' is set for a very short run.
